Cover art by Utah artist John Held, Jr. Utah Artist John Held Jr. (1889-1958) was a prominent illustrator of the 1920s and 1930s. He began by drawing spo…rts and political drawings for The Salt Lake Tribune when he was just 16 years old. Held moved to New York City in 1910, where he went on to gain notoriety for his drawings in the popular magazines "Life," "The New Yorker," "Vanity Fair," "Judge," and "College Humor." His work epitomized the Jazz Age. He is most recognized for creating the short-haired "flapper." The cover of this publication features one of Held's maps. Held's maps illustrate the diversity of his art, while at the same time serving to demonstrate Held's interpretation of various notable places and things. Kori Alexander writes in his article entitled Relevant Magic in the Art of John Held Jr., "While it was Held's caricatures of the young college chaps and flapper girls that earned him public notoriety, it was his linoleum cuts and pen and ink maps that fortified his legitimacy as a social commentator."
