Sharp-collared gentlemen and a bare-backed sailor with a shovel

J.C. Leyendecker (1874–1951) and Edward Penfield (1866–1925) were two of the greatest American illustrators of the early 20th century — artists whose covers for The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's Weekly, and Harper's defined the visual culture of the progressive era. Leyendecker's Arrow Shirt campaigns — featuring idealized male figures with a coded homoerotic sensibility — are now recognised as pivotal works in American LGBTQ+ visual history. Penfield's poster designs brought French Art Nouveau poster aesthetics into the American mainstream with unmatched sophistication.
