More C.C. Beall Illustrations

I last wrote here about illustrator C.C. (Cecil Calvert) Beall.   Since then, more biographical information has appeared on the Internet.   Also, more images of his work.

Illustration Magazine's Issue 72 (May 2021) included an article about Beall.   It can be accessed online here.  Its preview link includes images of Beall's 1930s temporary work as an illustrator of "pulp" magazine covers.

Below are examples of Beall's non-pulp work.  Click on some to enlarge

I included this Collier's cover in my previous Beall post, but for the above image I cleaned up the aged  colors.  I really like this illustration.  Especially the girl's face.

Another Collier's cover, from nearly two years later.

Art from a 1928 Essex automobile advertisement.

One of a series of 1923 Maxwell House advertisements.

An unusual, for Beall, Collier's cover.

Beall illustrated several government posters during World War 2.
