Society Of Illustrators Centennial Benefit Auction A nice catalog for this special auction. 101 art pages out of the book's 116. 21 large featured reproductions and the other 80 having two-or-more images on display. Everything is captioned with the artist's name, the title, the client for which it was produced & the book-or-product it was applied to, and the medium & size. There's 13 pages of artist biographies. 'Standard' illustration takes the lion's share of the images, more than 100, just more than the rest combined, though adventure/romance makes a healthy showing, followed by SF/Fantasy and the smatterings of juvenile/caricature, western and nudes.
