Bob Cox points to this nifty site, http://www.magazineart.org/, a digital repository of magazine cover art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
There’s a lot of art that’s been hidden away for fifty or a hundred years or more—hidden away not because it’s bad art, or because someone tried to suppress it, but just because it was part of something transient. Once that transient thing had its day in our living rooms, it fell from view and the art that it held was lost to us.
There’s a chance that nbruce has already shared this with us, but it’s worth sharing again.
