The Quintessential Tome for Vintage Illustration Lovers

You know this illustration artist if you spent even the littlest bit of time on eBay. One of the most prolific and successful artists of the Golden Age of American Illustration, J. C. Leyendecker is best known for his creation of the archetype of the handsome American male with his advertisements for Arrow Collar. His images convey glamour and style, not a far cry from what you see on The Sartorialist today. Leyendecker also created the oft-recognized and iconic New Year’s baby and Santa Claus.
