J.C. Leyendecker

leyendecker

I stumbled across a fantastic Flickr group of beautiful artwork by early 20th century illustrator J.C Leyendecker. He is regarded as Norman Rockwell’s predecessor as the premier illustrator of covers for the Saturday business post and is also well known for his men’s fashion illustration. Well worth a browse.

    There’s a song called ‘Leyendecker’ on the Battles album ‘Mirrored’. I wonder if it’s a tribute to this guy…

    Also: that shirt is ace.
