Description
Ernest Hamlin Baker was a very prolific illustrator from the last century. He produced more than 300 covers for Time magazine over his career. He also painted some amazing Propaganda posters for the Homefront. Largely self taught, he developed a marvelous, and distinct, style. This cover celebrates the close of the Great War. It mixes patriotism with cost. I love the wonderful use of black and white areas in the piece. As a History buff, I was very happy to add this to my collection. Take a look at some of his body of work. Beautiful stuff!

David, Thanks. I'm amazed each time I look at it. The juxtaposition of light and dark is wonderful. My scan does not do it justice. Mr Baker had a very distinct style. I've seen one of a snowy city scene which is just beautiful. Glad you enjoyed this piece. Still can't believe I stumbled across it. Jim
