Original Description
Leyendecker's Going South, gracing the October 19, 1935 cover of The Saturday Evening Post, captures the effortless glamour of early 20th-century travel. A chic woman in a tailored suit, gloves, and cloche hat leans against a train window, her gaze wistful yet sophisticated—a hallmark of Leyendecker’s iconic "Arrow Collar Man" elegance adapted for the modern woman. The Art Deco-influenced composition, with its crisp lines, dynamic diagonals, and bold red accents (the train’s exterior contrasting with her cool blue ensemble), epitomizes the golden age of American illustration. This work solidified Leyendecker’s status as a master of narrative vignettes, bridging commercial art and high culture while influencing contemporaries like Norman Rockwell. More than a travel scene, it’s a visual ode to wanderlust and the aspirational lifestyles idealized in mid-1930s America.
For decorating, Going South shines in spaces evoking vintage refinement or cosmopolitan energy. A framed print (ideal size: 24x36 inches) anchors a study or office, pairing with walnut furniture and brass accents for a Jazz Age vibe. The red train contrasts strikingly with deep teal or charcoal walls, while the blue in the subject’s outfit suggests a palette for throw pillows or rugs. Place it near a leather armchair or a sleek bar cart to echo its transportive mood. In a minimalist setting, let it dominate as a bold focal point; in eclectic spaces, layer with other Art Deco pieces or travel memorabilia. Avoid overcrowding—Leyendecker’s clean lines demand breathing room. A museum-quality frame with a slim gold border honors its magazine-cover heritage while keeping the look timeless.
