My friends and I are avid collectors of early 20th century American illustrations, especially the lovely ladies painted by the many artists whose work produced America's "Golden Age of Illustration." Please visit our website (click the URL below) for information on the illustrator guides that we produce. There are now 16 books available in the series; each book attempts to draw together all the printed works by an illustrator. The series began in 1996, with some B&W guides, but the current books are all in full color, and deal with the following artists: Coles Phillips (and Valentine Sandberg); Neysa McMein; Haskell Coffin (written with Rick Huisking); Gene Pressler (written with Judy & Dean Patzer); Earl Christy, vol. 1 (magazine work), and vol. 2 (everything else; both Christy guides were written with Audrey Buffington); Penrhyn Stanlaws; Rolf Armstrong (written with Michael Wooldridge); Bradshaw Crandell; Zula Kenyon (written with Barbara Driscoll, Chuck Kahle, and Tim Smith); Adelaide Hiebel (written with Chuck Kahle and Tim Smith); J. Knowles Hare; Edward Eggleston; Philip Boileau (written with Karen Gamlin); Frank Desch; and our newest volume, on Zoe Mozert (written with Rick Huisking).
