What It Is
Ladies' Home Journal from July 1918
Would make great birthday or anniversary present
for someone you know, or for fans of great art!
You can learn more about these artists at American Art Archives!
Why collect illustration art? The illustration art found in magazines, books, etc., provides a real-time look at the past. It shows how life was lived: what constituted beauty, heroism, relationships, loss, ethics, spirituality, fun -- you name it. You can learn more from owning and studying a publication from decades past than you ever could by reading a history book or listening to a classroom lecture. As a collector, I can attest that collecting illustration art has been a constant education, not just in the art itself, but also in the times when that art was published. So, for as little as the price of a pizza, you can own a piece of history!

Specifications
Approximate size is 10.5 x 13.5 inches. Much of this issue would be perfect for framing. |
Condition Note
It's rather difficult to get the color and the contrast of the original in a scan AND preserve any flaws, which tend to get muted, or mostly show only on the very edges (which gets cropped) so this text will describe flaws, if any.
Back page and pages 33-34, 27-28 are missing. Cover has some edge wear; mailing label. Overall in pretty good shape with the usual blemishes as would be expected from materials this old; this may include: page tanning, especially at edges, small tears, corner bumps, some slight cover soiling and spine wear, etc., but not bad. Auctioned as is.
