Leyendecker show at Historical Society

[skynyc]

There's a small, but awesome show of J.C. Leyendecker's original art at the New York Historical Society. The original creator of the Arrow Collar man. His models are always checking each other out, even when there are women in the image. 

And the gift shop is full of his images on stuff...it's practically a boutique on Christopher St. LOL

Thanks for the info There are several upcoming guided tours as well, which would make for an informed visit:

Anyone know if it will travel?  Would love to see, but won't make it to NYC before it closes.

I'm glad they had this here in NYC! It's a small exhibit but you get the idea and story. The Haggin museum in Stockton, CA has a larger collection. I visited back in 2018 and really enjoyed it and to this day still wear a longsleeve t-shirt showing the pitcher.
