American Beauty

Another Harrison Fisher American beauty:

Grand Era

Here is another beautiful example from the grand era, when editors honored the beautiful cover art they published by not slapping text blurbs all around it. The blurb along the bottom, advertising editorial content, adds just enough weight and balance to justify itself.

Not to mention that it was a time when women were being portrayed with a new balance, one of strength of character with cultivated femininity.

What a grand era! What a beautiful cover!

Cleopatra

Looking like a beautiful rendition of A Princess of Mars by J. Allen St. John, this is actually a beautiful rendition of Cleopatra by Harrison Fisher, from 1907 — five years before Princess first saw print. It could have been interesting if Fisher had been assigned to the Edgar Rice Burroughs' stories.

Future of Women's Rights

I love the countenance of the young woman's face in the foreground.

You see the future of women's rights written in her features.
