This original art was purchased directly from the estate of Ernest Hamlin Baker. I don't believe this was ever published by Fortune Magazine.I had this art displayed in my office at work for many years and received many compliments on it. I've been retired now over 7 years and so I'm ready to part with it.Between 1931 and 1937, Baker illustrated nearly a dozen covers for Fortune . While his style and subjects varied, each cover focused on a specific aspect of the American economy. Through his cover work for Fortune, editorial cartooning, and his participation in the New York City arts scene of the 1920s and '30s, Baker developed a keen ability to depict American industry through his political lens, connecting his art to debates about capitalism, socialism, and worker's rights.Baker did over 300 cover illustrations for Time Magazine on of which is currently listed on EBay for $40,000.
