Vintage cover and copy of The Literary Digest magazine from 14 November 1908. J.C. Leyendecker cover illustration with the remainder of the magazine inserted into a slot on the rear of the framed work.

J.C. Leyendecker (1874-1951) was the pre-eminent American illustrator of the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, and passed the torch later to Norman Rockwell. Many of his originals were destroyed after his death so the period printed works that remain are eagerly collected.

The Literary Digest, Vol. XXXVII, No. 20, Whole No. 969 New York, November 14, 1908

(The image was also printed for the cover of The Literary Digest, Vol. XXXIX, No. 11, Whole No. 1012, New York, September 11, 1909 with the covers being identical)

Cover has been separated from the bulk of the magazine via an existing tear. The remainder of the magazine is stapled and the pages are in their original form. A Pink mailing label remains affixed to the cover. Remainder of the magazine is included, which has a full compliment of pages, articles, and vintage advertisements.
Frame is contemporary, but compliments the original colors well.
