Let's not forget those great pulp magazine illustrators of the '30s, '40s, and '50s . . .

A great source for period illustrations is Today's Inspiration. It features magazine and book illustrators mostly but its a lot of work from the early part of the 20th century, before photography became the go-to for magazine illustrations.

Like this:

If this is a look of interest to you, there is also a lot of groups on Flickr too. I can find the specific links if anyone's interested.

Thanks for sharing the link, Tuesday. What a great resource for illustrations!


Here's a nice painting showing the function of sleeve garters
(which incidentally I haven't seen many people wearing here, I guess it is pointless if your sleeves are the correct length)
