First Long Suit, Post Cover
By Joseph Christian Leyendecker
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Signed by Artist Lower Right
The Saturday Evening Post cover, September 18, 1937
One of the most prolific and sought-after artists of the Golden Age of Illustration, J.C. Leyendecker captivates the public with his striking, fashionable depictions of handsome men, glamorous women, and adorable children. Painted in 1937 First Long Suit not only encapsulates the high-fashion, glamorous fantasy world that Leyendecker strove to achieve over the course of his vastly successful career, it also poignantly captures a bittersweet moment that every parent experiences--watching our children grow up right before our eyes.
Born in Montabaur, Germany, Leyendecker came to Chicago with his Catholic family at age eight. He apprenticed to a printer, J. Manz and Co., and then studied with John Vanderpoel at the Chicago Art Institute. In 1896, he won the Century magazine...

Christ with Sainted Knights
By Joseph Christian Leyendecker
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Signature: Signed Lower Right
J. C. Leyendecker’s illustrations and advertisements fueled a collective visual memory for the early 20th century American public. Over the course of his career, Leyendecker created 322 covers for The Saturday Evening Post, as well as numerous other magazines, including Collier’s and Ladies’ Home Journal. The only illustrator to eclipse his fame was Norman Rockwell and Rockwell was quick to credit Leyendecker as his mentor and inspiration. This previously unknown work was recently discovered at a small country auction in South Carolina. It is likely an early work by Leyendecker, dating to circa 1900. The sinuous reddish orange flames emitted by the slain dragon recall the steam and vapors found in his later work, including an advertisement for Ivory Soap and a Thanksgiving cover for The Saturday Evening Post. The chiseled features and elegant expressions of the two knights and Christ are similar to those of his many successful advertising campaigns and illustrations. The inclusion of columns and the decorative border also are seen in works ranging from the 1901 Thanksgiving edition cover of Success magazine...

The Race Is One, Top-Notch Magazine Cover
By Victor Clyde Forsythe
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Signature: Signed Lower Right
Cover Illustration for Top-Notch Magazine, August 15, 1921
Forsythe was a major influence on many great artists and had many important friends. He was Rockwell's studiomate and mentor and actually helped Rockwell to get his first cover at The Saturday Evening Post.
Forsythe was also friends with Teddy Roosevelt, who was the first President to drive a car. "The Race is On" 1921 depicts Teddy Roosevelt racing a cowpoke on horseback.
This is a phenomenal painting in many respects - historical, western, presidential, car. Roosevelt is a major collector's market. The car is a Red Model T Roadster as well. It also contains great action and drama - and beautifully rendered, as good if not better than any WR Leigh...
