Summary

J.C. Leyendecker (1874-1951) completed more than 500 magazine cover illustrations over the course of his career. His early covers related to stories printed within -- this one illustrated the first of a Collier's series highlighting outdoor sports and leisure -- but Leyendecker was soon given license to create covers around general themes of his choosing. His imaginative illustrations became favorites among readers.
