American Art Archives

Thomas Clement collects magzine covers and other illustrated ephemera from the golden age of American illustration and presents some of it, along with biographies of the artists, at American Art Archives.

Included are the works of J.C. Leyendecker (shown here), Norman Rockwell, Dr. Seuss, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Bob Peak, and many many more.

(Thanks, Cynthia!)

    anyone who is not familair with JC Leyendecker should do temselves a favor and look him up – he’s one of the alll-time greats. Norman Rockwell was a fan of HIS and actually moved to be closer to JC
