St. John Postcards








St. John did a lot of postcards in the early 1900s. This isn't all of them, and it is unknown just how many of these he did.

Blue Book covers part one



Two covers from The Blue Book from October and December 1920.

Scans courtesy Dennis Kesler.

Blue Book and Green Book ads




Here are some St. John ads that appeared in The Green Book and The Blue Book.

Unpublished St. John - Oriole


This is an eBay scan of an unpublished St. John original.

World War I poster


The "bloody hand" WWI St. John poster is more familiar than this more attractive wartime rendering.

Osborne Calendar



Here is the front and back of a 1904 brochure St. John did for The Osborne Co., of New York. The Osborne Company was a publisher of calendars and art prints.

Thanks to Dennis Kesler for the scans.

Farm and Home calender 1903






In 1903, St. John did a calendar for Farm and Home. I believe these scans are from eBay, courtesy of Dennis Kesler.

Timeless Topix


Timeless Topix was a 16 page color comic published and distributed by the Roman Catholic Church in the forties.

The work St. John did for the comic is all reprinted in an out of print book titled Men of War. I'll add details about that book later.

Thanks to Dennis Kesler for the scan.
