| The editors of Liberty magazine, which first appeared on the newsstand in 1924, prided themselves on innovation - any innovation that would broaden their readership. One of their most successful and appealing ideas was the "continuity cover", and the artist who took the assignment was LESLIE THRASHER (1889-1936). For six years, Thrasher created a cover a week for $1,000 each, depicting the lives of a middle-class couple and their extended family, from their high school romance to a well-heeled m (showing 500 of 1504 characters). |
