I don’t know why it is that in the past couple years I’ve become a lot more interested in images from the Golden Age of Illustration that romanticize urban and industrial spaces than in those that romanticize rural, village, naval, or remote spaces — most of my life it’s been the other way around — but it’s definitely a thing that’s happening.
Top image: William J. Aylward in McClure’s, 1905. Bottom image: Thornton Oakley in Scribner’s, 1912. Both taken from Golden Age Comic Book Stories, here and here, where you can also see the contrasting imagery I’m talking about.
