Jules Gotlieb Illustrations

Jules Gotlieb (born 1897, date of death unavailable, but perhaps after 1964) was a competent American Illustrator who did not manage to attain fame during his long career or later.

For instance, David Apatoff in this post, "Who Are All These Illustrators?" included Gotlieb with others who were competent, yet obscure even to him.  And David is an illustration uber-maven!

Which is probably why very little of Gotlieb's work can be found on Internet searches.  Below are most of his images that I came across.

Via National Museum of American Illustration's Facebook page.  It looks like a Mead Schaeffer painting, but the collection doesn't include this image, according to their Web page.  And Gotlieb is not listed as an artist in the collection.  For now, let's call this illustration a "maybe."
