J. N. Marchand, Outing Magazine, 1906 |
Below are his illustrations for several novels set on the frontier. My favorite is the faro scene from Alfred Henry Lewis's Faro Nell and Her Friends, where players cluster in a hubbub around the dealer, and in the foreground is the relaxed figure of a cowboy in leather chaps and boots, smoking a cigarette, long legs crossed, his big hat beside him on the table.

I'm not too familiar with Marchand's work since he died early at age 46 in 1921. His work is excellent however.
ReplyDeletea very up close and personal feel to these. I like very much
ReplyDeleteHe has a great eye for horses as well as humans doing what they do.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this look into the past for Marchand and the others work was done just after the turn of the century. I picked up ideas for dress and hat styles, open vests etc. Thanks, Ron, for showcasing some very fine art. The animal studies were often superb..
ReplyDeleteI like the way he painted the horses' hooves coming at the viewer, almost like 3-D. Not familiar with his work at all or with these novels.
