SATURDAY EVENING POST THIS ISSUE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION COVER ART TENNIS - BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BY Penrhyn Stanlaws GOLD FEVER Penrhyn Stanlaws was born March 19, 1877 in DundeeScotland as Stanley Adamson. He was the younger brother of another illustrator, Sydney Adamson, so he would change his name to avoid confusion. He was best known for cover-art depicting beautiful women such as the Post cover shown here. His "Stanlaws Girl" rivaled the "Gibson Girl" Prior to that though, while still in New York, Stanlaws would organize a syndicate to build the Hotel des Artistes where it still stands on 1 West 67th Street. Built as a co-op, but with rental units as well, Stanlaws claimed "that the 10-floor, $1.2 million structure was the largest studio building in the world" (nytimes.com). The Hotel des Artistes was completed in 1917 and while Stanlaws planned other projects including a never completed resort in Port Washington on Long Island. Off to Hollywood soon thereafter Penrhyn Stanlaws finds himself credited on the IMDb as director of seven films: "The House that Jazz Built" (1921) starring Wanda Hawley, four Betty Compson vehicles: "At the End of the World" and "The Little Minister" (both also 1921), and "The Law and the Woman" and "Over the Border" (both 1922), plus two Bebe Daniels films, "Singed Wings" and "Pink Gods" (both 1922), the latter of which also featured the "Stanlaws Girl," Anna Q. Nilsson. Penrhyn Stanlaws died in Los Angeles, May 20, 1957 in a fire said to have started when he fell asleep in a chair while smoking.

K. Curtis, purchased the magazine for one thousand dollars. Curtis, who also founded The Ladies Home Journal, was well aware of the distinguished legacy of the publication. The legendary George Horace Lorimer, who served as editor from 1899-1936, grew The Saturday Evening Post from 2,000 copies sold per year to over three million by the end of his tenure. Under his leadership, The Saturday Evening Post became the first magazine ever to reach 1,000,000 copies sold. It was Lorimer who conceived of changing the cover from appearing as page one of the magazine to a distinct cover featuring artwork or illustrations. His innovation fueled the popularity of magazine advertising as well as the success of The Saturday Evening Post. Furthering the advent of the magazine cover, The Saturday Evening Post continued to distinguish itself through its cover artwork. These covers, the most famous of which were painted by Norman Rockwell, connected readers intimately with the magazine as a whole. Americans everywhere recognized the art of the Post and eagerly awaited the next issue because of it. On the editorial side, The Saturday Evening Post featured short stories and commentary by such famous authors as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ring Lardner and many others. Other notable cover illustrators include J.C. Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth, Charles Livingston Bull, and John E. Sheridan. In the 1950’s, television’s popularity posed a major challenge to the magazine, and by 1969 The Saturday Evening Post briefly ceased circulation. In 1971, however, it found a new owner and was re-introduced with a focus on health and medical breakthroughs by the Benjamin Franklin Literary & Medical Society. Having been at the side of Americans in various forms since 1728,
through the events and cultural shifts that have shaped the country’s
character, The Saturday Evening Post remains America’s Magazine. THE SATURDAY EVENING POST
