Happy Belated New Year, courtesy Enoch Bolles


  A bit late but worth the wait. This new year's greeting from our man Enoch is doubly special. Not only is it a rare example of two Bolles girls adorning a cover, it's the first "new" cover discovery in over four years. 

Laughter was a monthly humor magazine that lasted for barely over a year and Bolles painted nearly all of the covers. Unlike his other magazine assignments during this period, Bolles applied dramatic backgrounds for all of his Laughter covers. This addition brings the count of Bolles magazine covers to 581. Let's hope that there are more to be found!
