Harrison Fisher (July 27, 1875 or 1877 – January 19, 1934) was an American illustrator. Fisher was born in Brooklyn, New York City and began to draw at an early age. In 1898, he began his career as a newspaper and magazine illustrator, working for the San Francisco Call and the San Francisco Examiner, drawing sketches and decorative work. He became known particularly for his drawings of women, which won him acclaim as the successor of Charles Dana Gibson. Fisher's work appeared regularly on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine from the early 1900s until his death.
Franklin Booth (July 8, 1874 – August 25, 1948) was an American artist known for his detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. Using watercolor, Booth created book illustrations, such as James Whitcomb Riley's The Flying Islands of the Night. During World War I, he created posters for recruitment, fundraising, and other efforts. As Art Deco style illustrations became popular, his work in later years was found in commercial publications and catalogs. He developed a style of drawing composed of thousands of lines, whose careful positioning next to one another produced variations in density and shade. The characteristics of his art were his scale extremes with large buildings and forests looming over tiny figures, decorative scrolls and borders, classic hand lettering and gnarled trees. His skilled draftsmanship and unique style made him a popular illustrator. He was considered "the best pen-and-ink man in America.” Booth's illustrations appeared in popular magazines, like Scribner's, Good Housekeeping, Collier's, Harper's Magazine, and The Saturday Evening Post. He illustrated James Oppenheim's short stories for American magazine by 1914. Booth created advertising art for organizations, such as Rolls-Royce, Whitman's Candy, Bulova Watches, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Paramount Pictures, and Estey Organ. He also created illustrations for several Victor-Victrola record covers.; This Vintage Pair of Harrison Fisher Chromolithographs- Homeward Bound & Goodnight- Embellished by Franklin Booth was published by Reinthal & Newman Publishing Co.
