Beautiful illustrations from the 60's

Yesterday (Easter Sunday) my girlfriend and I went to her mother's house in New Egypt, NJ. A couple of doors down from the house is an amazing used book store that my girlfriend has been raving about. I figured it couldn't be better than the Strand in NYC, but boy was I wrong. In the back left corner were piles and piles of old Saturday Evening Posts, Boy's Life, Collier's, and Fortune Magazines from the 40's-70's. I rummaged through for over an hour, promising my girlfriend "one more, just one more" before calling it a day. I picked up a few that caught my eye with some great illustrations. Below are a couple of the beauties I was able to get my hands on. I chatted a bit with the owner, George, telling him that I am an illustrator and have been in the Saturday Evening Post and others. He told me next time I come in to bring him a print signed of my work, and he'll "take care" of me. I can't wait! This is a new hobby of mine - and I'm going to end up broke.... Until then - enjoy a couple of the beautiful oversized illustrations below!
