Joseph Christian Leyendecker (March 23, 1874 – July 25, 1951) was
one of the preeminent American illustrators of the early 20th century.
He is best known for his poster, book and advertising illustrations, the
trade character known as The Arrow Collar Man, and his numerous covers for The Saturday Evening Post.[2][3] Between 1896 and 1950, Leyendecker painted more than 400 magazine covers. During the Golden Age of American Illustration, for The Saturday Evening Post
alone, J. C. Leyendecker produced 322 covers, as well as many
advertisement illustrations for its interior pages. READ MORE HERE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._C._Leyendecker
