About the Exhibition
Joseph Christian Leyendecker (1874-1951) may not be as well known as his fellow American illustrator Norman Rockwell, but during his long career his work was some of the most popular of its day. Leyendecker produced illustrations for Collier’s magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Arrow Brand shirts, Kellogg’s and posters supporting various war efforts.
