J. C. Leyendecker 0

I know it's not comic related, but I need the wisdom of the GA forum. 

I am looking for a complete list of Leyendecker covers that he did for the Saturday Evening Post but I can not find it anywhere. 

Even the SEP web page only shows 150 or so out of the 322 covers he did. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm afraid I'm of no help, but I thought I would take advantage of your thread to post this cover of his that I purchased on the boards a while back.

The art is great...but what a signature too!

The complete listing of his covers is in this excellent book.  It includes an image gallery of all of them.

Oh man, what a great illustrator. I'm also a big fan of John R. Neill who illustrated the early Oz books. His line work was spectacular.

Knowing Rockwell graced many Post covers led to my discovery of Leyendecker. Along side of Rockwell, he in his own right up there with a similar technique and quality. In some cases it would be difficult to tell them apart.

The Heritage Illustrated Art auctions had a lot of Leyendeckers for a while.

Do you have this book? If so, could you check it for me? 

 

[adamstrange]

I have the book and if you have a specific question I'll try and answer it.

If you can post a pic of the Saturday Evening Post gallery pages, that would be great. 

I need to put together a complete list of the covers he did. I only need to see the cover date of every issue.

What a great cover and signature. One of the best American illustrators of all time. Side note, anybody ever hitchhike? Me and a buddy hitchiked across the US and all over Europe back in my younger days. Never had a problem or gave one. What a feeling of freedom. Best time of my life. You just couldn't do that now days...

You could if you don’t mind visiting a wood chipper at the end...
