From the 1860s to the 1930s, there was a blooming movement of the illustrator's art in America and England. During this period notables such as Arthur Rackham and Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, J.C. Leyendecker and Fanny Cory, transformed the art of children's book illustration.
The movement developed from the advances in printing technology that permitted accurate and inexpensive art, coupled with a high demand by the public for new graphic illustrations.

At J. Manz & Co., his talent quickly grew from errand boy to staff illustrator. At the age of 19, he was given the job of creating 60 illustrations for a bible that Manz was to produce.

Soon Leyendecker was doing cover assignments for Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post, in which he created over 320 Post covers.

He did many posters, magazine covers, and book and advertising illustrations. By the 1920s he was the highest paid commercial artist in the nation.

The Fadeaway Girl was the hallmark of Coles Phillips. Phillips pictured fashionable young women, using the device of tying the figure into the background by either color, value or pattern. This approach produced an intriguing poster-like effect of great simplicity, yet it was based on the most careful preliminary planning of shapes to carry out the illusion of the full figure.
When Life Magazine began to use color on its covers in 1908, the Fadeaway Girl made her initial appearance and was an instant success. For many years thereafter she appeared in a variety of guises, but was always the patrician beauty.
