This small, hand-sized biographical picture booklet featuring the sensuous and alluring commercial portraits of beautiful women will instantly transport you back to the era of "Flapper Girls" and art deco elegance. Each page of thick card stock alternates between details of the artist's life and art, and his postcard-like reproductions of those glamorous, trademark "Armstrong Girls" from the 1920's to the 1940's.

The selected illustrations often graced America's most popular magazine covers at the time, such as Judge, Metropolitan, Boston Sunday Post, College Humor, and Screenland. Includes a self-portrait of the artist.
