"If you're interested in some of the history and notable artworks of influential American illustrators this is your book. It's a fascinating read and definitely a book you can proudly display on a coffee table. If you're an aspiring illustrator, I definitely recommend this book. If you're someone who appreciates illustration I also recommend this book." [a private review]

Profiles the lives and works of ten American illustrators: Howard Pyle, N. C. Wyeth, Frederic Remington, Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, Howard Chandler Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, and John Held, Jr.

"This large format hardcover presents the 10 top illustrators of America, with extensive good reproductions of each artist's work, in both black-and-white and color. The accompanying notes give useful information about each artist and his work.

The book covers each artist in about 20/25 pages of text and reproductions, except for Norman Rockwell who gets the lion's share with some 48 pages. I think this is unfair to the other nine who were not less talented than Rockell, especially Leyendecker, who was the idol of Rockwell who imitated his work. Nevertheless, the book offers an outstanding spectrum of the work of these masters who were extremely talented and different in style. The book shows that almost all of these "master illustrators" were also very great painters." [a private review]
