Esquire Illustrations

[CoryB]

Does anyone have or know of a source for the Esquire illustrations from the 1930s? This thread shows a few, but I know there must be 100s as I frequently see them on websites. I'm planning of doing something along the lines of what cuffthis has on his wall in this picture:

Thus, I need high quality images to prevent fuzziness.

My other plan (I'm finding to many things I like) is to just have a series of photos. I keep coming up with 2, 3, or 4 photos that are of similar proportions, colour scheme, etc., but need at least 5 to adequately cover the wall. Notice that the first 3 match much better.

I have several others series that I like as well. Thoughts on this concept and of course of the original question of the Esquire illustrations?

you'll have to do some hunting around online, but it can be found; this is a small hardback book, where most people find these illustrations. great artwork! I had a copy but sold mine to another forum member to enjoy.

Luckily the world's largest rare book seller is based about 10mins from my house.

. It seems that is a fairly hard book to find based upon a few quick searches. Another questions, does anyone have a good search for cool clothing-related images. I have a few of the inner-workings of automatic watches that I like. The probably is finding high enough resulation to print without quality loss. Edit: Damn that is a pricey book, $250!
