Man Reading in Circle, Arrow Collar Ad (1916) - J.C. Leyendecker Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Man Reading in Circle catches the Arrow Collar Man at the hour when collars loosen and the lamps go amber. J.C. Leyendecker painted this 1916 vintage advertisement for Cluett, Peabody & Company, and he gave it the gravity of a salon portrait. A lacquer-black roundel swallows most of the sage-gray board. Out of that inky moon steps a gentleman in a quilted smoking jacket, its lapels stitched in brassy gold diamonds over jet brocade.
His detachable club collar gleams bone white above shirting striped in shell pink. He rests a forearm on a stone-gray console with a curling scroll bracket and raises an oxblood book toward his pomaded profile. The whole Golden Age of American Illustration seems to lean in and read over his shoulder.
Leyendecker's hatched oil strokes shaped the ideal American man for millions of Saturday Evening Post readers. Charles Beach, his partner of nearly fifty years, lent that ideal its famous jawline. Hang this vintage fashion illustration where evenings linger on a library wall. His lifted book your invitation to stay up late as every surface flirts with you.
