I love finding issues of THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. Aimed at a rural, primarily farming audience, the covers were executed by some of the finest illustrators of the time (Harvey Dunn and others, for example), and the entertainment portion of the mag (extensive section for short stories and serialized novels) featured best selling authors, usually in the mystery and western genres. Zane Grey, Max Brand, etc. The oversize format makes them a delight for the eyes, too.
I am posting these images with a non-profit and educational 'fair use' motive, regarding respective copyrights. Anyone downloading and using these images for any commercial use would be in violation of respective copyrights, and does not have my approval for such use.
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.
