John Held Jr.
John Held Jr. (
1889-
1958) was one of the most famous magazine illustrators of the
1920s. His cheerful art defined the flapper era so well that many people are familiar with it today. His post-
1930 works are not as well-known, but he was versatile enough to earn a living through the
Great Depression and beyond. By
1952, the nostalgia market was dominated by 1920s designs, and Held's earlier works enjoyed a revival.
