JUDGE - WILL DO! ORIGINAL VINTAGE LITERARY POSTER BY STANLAWS
Est: $350 - $600
Judge was a weekly satirical magazine published in the United States from 1881 to 1947. It was launched by artists who had seceded from its rival Puck. The founders included cartoonist James Albert Wales, dime novels publisher Frank Tousey and author George H. Jessop. The first printing of Judge was on October 29, 1881, during the Long Depression. It was 16 pages long and printed on quarto paper. While it did well initially, it soon had trouble competing with Puck. Penrhn Stanlaws ( born Stanley Adamson) was born in 1877 in Dundee, Scotland. A prominent illustrator of the 1910s through 30s, his ladies would show up everywhere from cigarette ads to the covers of Colliers, The Ladies' Home Journal and The Saturday Evening Post. He had a successful career as an artist and in the film industry. He passed away in Los Angeles. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.
