Illustration: 1930s Colliers Illustrations

This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for more jaw dropping examples of classic illustration.

Colliers Magazine Illustration
You might remember a post we had here a couple of weeks back on mid-1940s illustrations from Colliers Magazine. Well, here for comparison are some examples from the pages of mid-30s issues. Colliers was the "Rolls Royce" of weekly magazines, with a tremendous circulation. The artists who illustrated the articles and advertisements were highly respected and very highly paid. They were worth every penny- check out those masterful ink wash duotones!

Archive volunteer Gary Francis has been scouring the swap meets for vintage magazines for us to digitize. Keep up the good work, Gary!
