Today's Inspiration: Brilliant Archival Illustration
(Above): Illustration by Ben Shahn, from Fortune, September 1953.
Today's Inspiration is currently running a five-part excerpt from the September 1953 issue of Fortune, "The Boom in Paper-Bound Books," about the rise of paperbacks in the early 50s and the concurrent market for cover illustration. The posts are filled with great classic paperback covers from the era, brilliantly illustrated, of course.
