DATE OF THIS ** ORIGINAL ** ILLUSTRATED COVER: 1936 Neysa Moran McMein (born Marjorie Frances McMein; January 24, 1888 – May 12, 1949) was an American illustrator and portrait painter who studied at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago and Art Students League of New York. She began her career as an illustrator and during World War I, she traveled across France entertaining military troops with Anita P. Wilcox and Jane Bulley and made posters to support the war effort. She was made an honorary non-commissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps for her contributions to the war effort. McMein was a successful illustrator of magazine covers, advertisements, and magazine articles for national publications, like McClure's, McCall's, The Saturday Evening Post, and Collier's. McMein created the portrait of a fictional housewife "Betty Crocker" for General Mills. She was also a successful portrait painter who painted the portraits of presidents, actors, and writers. Algonquin Round Table members were entertained at her West 57th Street studio, where she was known for her active parties. Life magazine wrote an article about adult party games, which featured stories about McMein's parties. She had an open marriage to John G. Baragwanath, during which she had affairs with Charlie Chaplin and George Abbott. Baragwanath described their marriage as a successful one based upon a deep friendship.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS: When collecting ILLUSTRATED COVER ART one can do so by content, artist, year, theme, etc etc... with plenty of each to fill a wall or portfolio... Prices are normally based on condition, artist, condition, theme, condition, publishing year, condition... and condition... (DO YA SEE THE PATTEN...HAHA) Most of the covers where mailed folded (and / or folded by the owner to fit the back pocket or purse). Those covers which have no center fold have a higher premium in any collection. Because of the gloss paper used and the richness of inks for most covers, age wear + use from handling are very important factors in pricing (see above value line for pricing factors)
ILLUSTRATED COVER artwork is fun, exciting and well worth COLLECTING, as each year takes it's toll... the remaining covers available in the market have shrunk AND THUS those that survive consistently keep INCREASING in value.. Framed correctly with acid free techniques and quality matting, backing and frames will no doubt increase their value as the years pass. and in the meantime one gets to derive the pleasure of enjoyment and sharing with friends..
COVER ART works well to display not only in the home but certainly does well for any office, or business establishment.. Always getting plenty of "viewing", questions and comments...
