November 1907 SUCCESS Magazine - Orison Swett Marden - F. X. Leyendecker For Sale

Original November 1907 issue of SUCCESS Magazine, edited by Orison Swett Marden.

This attractive issue features a full-color cover illustrated by Frank Xavier Leyendecker, the accomplished commercial artist and younger brother of famed illustrator J. C. Leyendecker. F. X. Leyendecker is best known for his work for Life, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Collier's, The Saturday Evening Post, Leslie's, advertising campaigns, and magazine illustration. His cover artwork for SUCCESS Magazine appears far less frequently than that of his more famous brother, making this an appealing issue for collectors of early American illustration.

The cover features an elegant early automobile scene beneath brilliant autumn foliage, making it one of the more visually striking SUCCESS covers from this period.

Notable contents include:

• "If You Can Talk Well" by Orison Swett Marden
• "The Real Lawson"
• "New Motor Car Models"
• "Drugging a Race"
• "Our Own Northwest"
• "The Hermit"
• "The Red Motor"
• "A Dinner to Paul"
• "A Group of Famous Paintings of Mothers and Children"
• Original period advertisements and illustrations throughout

An excellent early issue of SUCCESS Magazine for collectors of Orison Swett Marden, F. X. Leyendecker, Golden Age illustration, early automobiles, American publishing history, and turn-of-the-century magazines.
