I am in love with that. It’s from 1922 – and it’s done by Frank Xavier Leyendecker (brother of the dude in the post below this one). Quite a talented family. I love Frank Xavier’s stuff a bit more because of his bohemian subjects – the almost circus-y quality – Harlequins, ballerinas – like Madeleine and Pepito being kidnapped by gypsies and joining the circus (which, surprise, surprise, was my favorite of the Madeleine books). Instead of portraying just mainstream folks … he portrays the fringe-dwellers, the artists, the freaks, the contortionists, the burlesques. My peeps.
Like this, too, from 1921:
Saaaayyyyy… Nice camel!
