Remarks:
|
Artist was Maud Tousey Fanger In the 1930s, '40s, and '50s -- if you saw a sketch or portrait of a child on the cover of Ladies Home Journal or Woman's Home Companion, or inside the magazines advertising, say, Colgate's Talc Powder, Cream of Wheat, or Squibb's Cod Liver Oil, you were probably seeing the work of Maud Tausey Fangel. For a good part of the first half of the twentieth century Ms. Fangel was the children's artist in our country -- her illustrations of ruddy-cheeked, doe-eyed, curly-locked children were everywhere. In 1992, Cargill, Inc. acquired the Wilbur Chocolate Company.
