[New York]: Judge Pub. Co., [July 24, 1915]. Fellows, L. First edition. Unbound sheet. One sheet removed from The Judge, a literary and humor magazine. Good. Item #26447
The first two pages of a romantic short story with a polo background. Fellows (1885-1964) was a precocious young illustrator, whose original proto-Art Deco linear style and flat colors influenced many of his peers. He went on to become a sought-after fashion illustrator in the 1930s and had a long career as a commercial artist and painter. "However, it is his early work, when he found a fresh viewpoint in a sophisticated spoof of the social upper crust, that makes us admire his audacity and leaves us with a smile of appreciation" (Walt Reed, for the Society of Illustrators site). Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping rate.
