Research for Final Project

 For the final project, I mainly looked at one book, "James Montgomery Flagg" by Susan E. Meyer. She has a lot of photographs and illustrations that I was not able to find anywhere else. The images were provided by a protege of Flagg's named Everett Raymond Kinstler. Kinstler ended up with many of Flagg's works after Flagg's death in 1960. The book is an invaluable resource for not only the images but also the writings and reminisces of Flagg by those who knew him. The book was written a mere 14 years after Flagg's death, and so the material was more readily available. There is not too much about Flagg on the internet, but I did use ArtStor to find some photographs of his family that were taken byArnold Genthe that lent some context to the stories in the book.
