Date Sold 9/9/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Paperbacked Magazine Cover (measures 10 1/4" x 13 3/4") (Learn More) The American Boy, the monthly magazine first published in 1899, and it was aimed at the young males of America (similar to the later Boys' Life). Its earlier rival was "Youth's Companion" which was founded 1827. In 1929, the two magazines merged (the Depression was hard on the magazine industry!) and the combined magazine ceased publication in 1941. Each issue had signed cover art by noted illustrators of the day. Artist: Manning de V. Lee Important Added Info: Note that this paperbacked magazine cover is from a collection that was consigned to us by a man who collected the covers of these magazines only (of course choosing the ones with the absolute best art!), and he had all of them professionally paperbacked, which not only presents them far better, but which makes them extremely easy to frame and enjoy (not only are these works of art by famous artists of the early to middle 20th century, but they also are very nostalgic, showing America when it was growing from a minor country to the leading world power, and any of them look great framed on a wall!).

The restorer backed the magazine cover "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could touch them up without re-backing the cover).
