Twenty-two posters by Charles Verschuuren

Dutch-American illustrator Charles Verschuuren (1891–1955) had a long career. Starting out as a teenage cartoonist for local papers in Tilburg, Netherlands, Verschuuren trained in Amsterdam and Paris before creating hundreds of posters, fliers, and advertisements for large firms such as the printer Drukkerij Kotting (the works in this post come from this time). He moved to Cleveland in 1922 and then to New York, where he would illustrate 380 covers for the Brooklyn Eagle, design posters for the WPA, and make animations for the Air Force (and very briefly for Disney). See a timeline of his career and some of his oil paintings here.
