Falter created a comic strip, "Down Thru the Ages," which ran in the "Fall City Journal." J.M. Darling, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist of the "Des Moines Register," saw some of his work and urged him to become a professional illustrator. In 1928, he enrolled in the Kansas City Art Institute and then won a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York City. Soon, he began illustrating pulp magazines and received his first commission from "Liberty" magazine to do three illustrations a week in 1933. By 1940, he had several clients including Gulf Oil, 4 Roses Whiskey, Arrow Shirts, and Pall Mall. His first "Saturday Evening Post Cover," a portrait of the magazine's founder Benjamin Franklin, is dated September 1, 1943, and from that time until 1969, he did 185 covers until the magazine ceased publication.In 1943, he enlisted in the Navy and designed over 300 recruiting posters and during this time completed a series of twelve famous war heroes for "Esquire" magazine. He also did illustrations for "Good Housekeeping," "The Home Magazine," "The Ladies Home Journal," "Cosmopolitan," "McCalls," "Life," and "Look. "His body of work is impressive in volume and variety of subject matter, and much of it reflected his life-long interest in jazz. He did scenes of Harlem nightclub life in the 1930s and portraits of famous jazz musicians including Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, and Pee Wee Erwin. He also did portraits of movie stars including Clark Gable, James Cagney, and Olivia de Haviland.During the 1970s and 1980s, he turned to historical and western themes including a series "From Sea to Shining Sea" for 3M Company to commemorate the American Bicentennial. He completed over 200 paintings of western subjects, emphasizing westward migration of 1843 to 1880 from the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains. In 1976, he was elected to the Illustrators Hall of Fame and in 1978 to the National Academy of Western Art with whom he exhibited at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Original Vintage Navy Day Poster WWII 1943 Spearhead of Victory
Est: $700 - $1,000
During World War II, the United States Government used the poster medium to produce tens of thousands of different images in support of the effort of the troops around the globe. The United States Navy played a vital role in allowing for troop movement to Europe as well as serving to limit the Axis in its efforts to conquer more territory. Here, the air and sea implementations of the US Navy are on full display. Navy Day traces its roots to the disarmament years between WWI & WWII. It was established in 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. October 27th was chosen as the day to honor the Navy for its connection to the 1775 report to first purchase ships for the American Revolution; a step that was a precursor to the official formation of the Navy. John Philip Falter (1910 - 1982) was an artist and illustrator famous for his The Saturday Evening Post covers. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and later moved to New York. He was influenced by the art of Frederic Remington and Norman Rockwell. In 1943 he enlisted in the Navy and designed over 300 recruiting posters for the American war. He became popular for the loose-lips-sink-ships theme in his posters, but also worked in the recruiting posters for the Waves. Falter was a prolific artist who depicted a wide range of subject matter in a variety of media. He illustrated over 40 books, and became an excellent portrait painter. In 1980, a documentary video: A View from the Standpipe: John Falter's World, was released by Nebraska Educational Television.

John Philip Falter (1910 - 1982) was an artist and illustrator famous for his The Saturday Evening Post covers. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and later moved to New York. He was influenced by the art of Frederic Remington and Norman Rockwell. In 1943 he enlisted in the Navy and designed over 300 recruiting posters for the American war. He became popular for the loose-lips-sink-ships theme in his posters, but also worked in the recruiting posters for the Waves. Falter was a prolific artist who depicted a wide range of subject matter in a variety of media. He illustrated over 40 books, and became an excellent portrait painter. In 1980, a documentary video: A View from the Standpipe: John Falter's World, was released by Nebraska Educational Television. This documentary provides more information about John's work, through one-on-one interviews in his Philadelphia location and shows a number of his paintings. As part of the Navy's campaign to recruit new Waves candidates John Falter shows the image of the proud Father holding the photo of his Waves daughter in full uniform. This confirms the value and importance of service in the war effort. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.

Original Vintage Navy Day Poster WWII 1943 Spearhead of Victory
Est: $700 - $1,200
During World War II, the United States Government used the poster medium to produce tens of thousands of different images in support of the effort of the troops around the globe. The United States Navy played a vital role in allowing for troop movement to Europe as well as serving to limit the Axis in its efforts to conquer more territory. Here, the air and sea implementations of the US Navy are on full display. Navy Day traces its roots to the disarmament years between WWI & WWII. It was established in 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. October 27th was chosen as the day to honor the Navy for its connection to the 1775 report to first purchase ships for the American Revolution; a step that was a precursor to the official formation of the Navy.
