A Menagerie of Meyers Maidens
No lofty lessons or obscure ontology today. I thought we'd end our look at the work of Robert Meyers with a selection of lovely lasses (ok, there are some lads in there too).
Meyers had a way with women (yes, and men) that puts him in the good company of the other top artists of the Cooper studio. These are just a few examples of his deftness at delineating damsels... and dudes.
All of these images are available for closer inspection in my Robert Meyers Flickr set.

Wow, Leif! I just had to check in to give a rousing "YES!!!" to this amaaaaazing Meyers art! I don't know him by name but I'm sure his work has glossed my eyes over numerous times throughout my life.

Thanks for your enthusiastic comment, Les! Made my day :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, what a great blog. I adore 1950's illustration and particularly how women are portrayed, Meyers certainly had a way with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this!
