Hearth and Home - October 1929
A free Halloween download :)
Hello friends! Can you believe it’s already September?? The time is flying by.
It’s still hotter than Satan’s house cat over here, but I have hope. Fall will be here soon.
I haven’t forgotten about “Sleeves: 1900 to 1910, Part Deux,” but while I’m working on that, I wanted send out a little download for you.
Back in August, I posted this Hearth and Home magazine from October 1929, asking if anyone was ready for Halloween yet. I think it’s safe to say, the majority of you are just as ready as I am!
While I’m still not sure what I’ll be doing with the original (I’m thinking a giveaway—let me know in the comments if you have a suggestion!), I thought it would be fun to scan it and let everyone enjoy it, since it’s such a special piece.
The cover artist is Florence Nosworthy (also known as FE Nosworthy and Florence Pearl Nosworthy), an artist and illustrator.
Taken from Dictionary of Women Artists: An International Dictionary of Women Artists Born Before 1900 by Chris Petteys:
Florence Pearl England Nosworthy was born in 1872 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and died 1936 in Hampton, Connecticut. Nosworthy studied with Tarbell and Benson at Boston Museum School of Fine Art; K. Cox and Barse at Art Students League, New York. She was a member of the Copley Society; Southern FA. Her work was exhibited at the Salons of America in 1934. She illustrated: Great Musicians; Miss Theodora; Bunny Brown books; Tommy Tinker's books; Betty of Wye; Land of Play (1911) and covers for women's and children's magazines; calendars and postcards.
She also illustrated the October 1930 issue of Hearth and Home. Isn’t it cute?
Below are a couple of the highlights from the magazine, but you can download the full PDF file at the bottom of the post.
I hope you enjoy it!
