Part of the concept of the golden age of illustration was that there were so many opportunities for illustrators to work their magic. Magazines, by the scores, relied on illustrators to help make their words come to life.
Henry J. Soulen was an illustrator of the exotic—foreign lands and ancient times. Here, the Ladies Home Journal utilizes his art to help relate the beginnings of today's marriage customs.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
