Classic

Inkwell defines the Classic Category as “The Golden Age of American Illustration” from the late 1800s through the 1950s. During the Golden Age, illustration art emerged as America’s most vital graphic media, showcasing the talent of the most exciting artists of their time while defining the nation culturally and socially. A few of the better-known illustrators who helped provide a historical overview of our society during this period were Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, Jessie Wilcox and James Montgomery Flagg.
