J.C. Leyendecker

The (Almost) Forgotten American Great

J.C. Leyendecker was one of the great American illustrators at the turn of the 20th century. His illustrations graced the cover of Collier's, Saturday Evening Post, and many other magazines. His work in advertising with brands such as Arrow Collars, Kellogg's, and Cooper Underwear (now Jockey) remains seminal in the development of the artform.
