We have always enjoyed the humorous satirical woodcuts created by John Held Jr. in the first quarter of 20th century America. Recently we had the good fortune to acquire a collection of those woodcuts. They were printed c. 1930 in the USA and many are signed in the plate..Great "Americana" images. Great for a large wall treatment or several smaller groupings. These images give us a glimpse into life in the U.S. in the late 19th/early 20th centuries..Eleven (11) have another image on reverse. Please view our other woodcuts by John Held Jr. .Dimensions: 8.5"W x 10.5"H (Sheet; images vary).
John Held Jr. (January 10, 1889 [Salt lake City]– March 2, 1958 [Belmar, NJ]) was an American cartoonist, printmaker, illustrator, and author. One of the best-known magazine illustrators of the 1920s, Held created cheerful art showing his characters dancing, motoring and engaging in fun-filled activities. The drawings depicted the flapper era in a way that both satirized and influenced the styles and mores of the time, and his images have continued to define the jazz age for subsequent generations. He also produced linocuts that depicted a Victorian era that was dark with violence and abuse.
