About the Item
Original cover illustration for Top-Notch Magazine, published October 1, 1919.
Featuring an action-packed early football image of a player kicking a ball, this exciting, fresh-to-the-market pulp cover painting is signed lower right by Clyde Forsythe, an American illustrator who created a number of iconic American WWI propaganda posters. This large oil on canvas dates to 1919.
Top-Notch Magazine was a popular long-running Street
Smith title that focused on sports and the active life, frequently with football cover images in this style. In the heyday of the pulps during the early 1930s there were seven exclusive football-related competing pulp titles, including Thrilling Football Stories, Exciting Football, Football Action, and Popular Football.

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Signature: Signed Lower Right
Cover Illustration for Top-Notch Magazine, August 15, 1921
Forsythe was a major influence on many great artists and had many important friends. He was Rockwell's studiomate and mentor and actually helped Rockwell to get his first cover at The Saturday Evening Post.
Forsythe was also friends with Teddy Roosevelt, who was the first President to drive a car. "The Race is On" 1921 depicts Teddy Roosevelt racing a cowpoke on horseback.
This is a phenomenal painting in many respects - historical, western, presidential, car. Roosevelt is a major collector's market. The car is a Red Model T Roadster as well. It also contains great action and drama - and beautifully rendered, as good if not better than any WR Leigh...
