More William Harnden Foster
On a recent trip I found a stash of old sporting magazines and was able to pick through and purchase some more Foster cover art. I thought some of you fans of his might be interested. I really like the way he stylizes his characters, especially the archetypal New Englanders.
You'll note in the last two images his recurring use of motifs -- the 1930s cover art followed by a study for his now famous book.
Enjoy!
