Leyendecker, one of the most popular artists of the Golden Age of American Illustration, won the hearts of the public with his stylish and striking depictions of handsome men and glamorous women. His instantly recognizable patterns, often referred to as the “Leyendecker look,” helped to create the face of the United States, which gave birth to many of the designs that are still known today, and created a brand identity for advertising.
This book, along with more than 600 original Leyendecker drawings, photographs, advertisements, and magazine covers, unravels many of the mysteries that have remained until this day and reveals the true nature of his life.
