{"product_id":"14-colliers-magazine","title":"Smokin' Slopes- Collier's Magazine","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis delightful 1940 Collier's cover by Lawson Wood showcases the British illustrator at his whimsical best. Wood's beloved anthropomorphized apes, cousins of his famous 'Gran'pop' character, take to the slopes with characteristic aplomb. The elder primate, sporting a jaunty green sweater and streaming yellow scarf, coolly puffs a cigarette while his younger companion grips the ski poles with considerably more anxiety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood's mastery of comic animal illustration made him one of the most reproduced artists of the early 20th century. His work appeared on everything from magazine covers to postcards, calendars, and advertisements. The bold diagonal composition and vibrant color palette exemplify the golden age of American magazine illustration, when covers competed fiercely for newsstand attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of vintage illustration, skiing memorabilia, or anyone who appreciates the timeless appeal of anthropomorphic animal humor. This February 1940 issue arrived at American newsstands as Europe descended into war, offering readers a moment of pure comic escapism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5\" x 10.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lawson Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good, * Please note that this listing is for the cover artwork, and not the magazine as a whole.
