Thanks, Laurence!

I’ve added an addendum to the post indicating that the book has been published.

Mr Parker: Just a brief note to thank you for listing our new JC Leyendecker book published by Abrams on your blog-which by the way we enjoy very much. Of course, we especially enjoyed your recent work on the Soc of Illustrators exhibition to which we loaned a number of pieces. Their catalogue is well done.

I think you will have a ball with our new book for after 12 years of research, we identified many unknowns about his life, including locating his grave, and the fact that he had another brother in addition to FX Leyendecker, also an artist by the name of Adolph. We also have included (thanks to Abrams publishing) 600 color illustrations including most of his mag cvrs and ALL 322 SEP covers, with most images in book scanned directly from the original art works themselves.
Thanks again and if you are ever near Newport, pls do ring us and visit with us at the Natl Mus of Amer Illustration and see the largest collection of JCL originals.
Sincerely, Laurence Cutler and Judy. too

Unfortunately, I don’t know of another source for these.

I just found this post in late August, but it seems as though Mr. Door Tree has removed the Leyendecker goodies, unfortunately… You wouldn’t have happened to have saved them?

Thanks, Jason. I have thought about doing a post on Frank, though there are fewer resources available. The best I've found so far is on the American Art Archives. Let me know if you get that tattoo... (grin). Other readers may want to check out my post on Jason Waskey.

I’m thinking of having that made into a tattoo…

Have you ever thought about doing a piece on Frank…? Even as a compare/contrast? (I did a quick search on the blog but didn’t see one)

Great job as always, Charley!

Thanks. I feel the same about many terrific exhibitions I see listed at museums in the U.K. and Europe.

I like that “general rule” of yours concerning Leyendecker …

Thank you for a very informative blog. This is actually where I first read about Leyendecker. Sadly, I won’t be able to see the exhibit either, as there is a little something called the Atlantic Ocean between it and me.
