Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. The need for illustrators in the first half of the twentieth centuries was crucial to the success of the myriads of magazines, publishers and newspapers as well as for the thousands of companies who purchased advertising. Commercial art courses were offered throughout the nation by colleges, business schools and independent operations. "The Federal Illustrator" was a quarterly periodical published by the Federal Schools, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The magazine covers a variety of subjects, but primarily focuses down on design, fashion and editorial cartooning. This is an interesting issue, starting out with some nifty vintage examples of advertising art. There is an article focusing on successful artist William MacKenzie, whose art traversed both commercial and fine arts. An article on Package Design by Roy Haldorson displays some packages with Art Deco design.
