The pictures not only speak to us - they speak about us. Our values, our lifestyles, our dreams. To lose these images would be to lose an important part of this century's cultural growth - a culture which America's illustrators recorded so well. But, unfortunately the media on which this art was originally created and reproduced are not durable. Illustration board crumbles.
Magazines turn yellow with age.
You can play a major role in preserving this unique and proudly very American art form by making a donation which will allow for more illustrative images to be archived digitally and displayed in a professional museum environment. Your gift at whatever level you can give will be sincerely appreciated. For information about contributing to the Museum, please contact us. All rights reserved. Site copyright 1998-2001 Mark Miller.
