As April blooms in the garden of Olive...   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #699 of 1736 |
We've managed to find several interesting and obscure pix of our Miss
Olive including a cover she did for the Saturday Evening Post in 1915.
Was quite a peach to find because the Curtis Publishing site

http://www.curtispublishing.com/home.html

which owns the Saturday Evening Post botched their archives so that
the picture shows up on Google but can't be retrieved until you change
the URL suffix from .JPG to .jpg

Curiously their site has lots of broken links and stuff in their
archives that isn't linked to. They only have links to covers starting
in 1920 even though there were at least 32 years of covers before
then.

This is Olive's cover. I believe it's a Haskell Coffin painting but
Curtis Publishing didn't do a good job archiving things and this isn't
linked on their pages...

We have it in the photosection and an enlarged version in the files
section as well as Penrhyn Stanlaws "Between Poses" a nude study posed
by Olive also around 1915...

If you want an original online copy this is the best one I've found...

Also in the Olive in Art photo folder we have her Redbook and Green
Book covers and her Leo Sielke cover for Motion Picture.

And finally this oddity...

A strange site of collages featuring celebrities in famous paintings
