Original Jerome Rozen Advertising Railroad Pulp Black Ink Illustration

Jerome Rozen was an incredible pulp artist and is accredited as an important leading illustrator in the early pulps. His first published art pieces were interior pen and ink story illustrations for Fawcett's Triple-X Magazine. In 1931, he painted the four earliest original pulp magazine covers for The Shadow, but starting with the January 1932 issue he was suddenly replaced by his brother George, who went on to become The Shadow's more renowned cover artist, while Jerome branched out into the more lucrative and prestigious fields of advertising and slick magazine illustration. He worked for such magazines as Country Home, Boy's Life, Good Housekeeping, Liberty, Pictorial Review, Redbook, and The Saturday Evening Post.
