He is known for creating 322 covers for The Saturday Evening Post, making him the first illustrator before Norman Rockwell to be associated with his publications. He showed up in America with his siblings at 16 years old, and together they opened a studio in Chicago’s Expressive arts Building. Here, J.C. Leyendecker got his first job designing the well-known magazine Post. He became the first person to come up with the modern concept of magazine design.
