Call Me Back, Collier's Weekly

This delightful Collier's cover from December 1937 captures a quintessential moment of domestic comedy through Jorj Harris's distinctive caricature style. A dapper gentleman in formal top hat gazes longingly at his sweetheart, who, oblivious to his attention, chats away on her candlestick telephone while her hair remains wrapped in curlers. The visual contrast between his polished readiness and her relaxed dishevelment tells a complete story without words. Harris employs the smooth, rounded forms characteristic of late Art Deco illustration, with warm peach skin tones set against a cream background. The bold red 'C' of the Collier's masthead and the teal telephone provide striking color accents. This issue promised fiction from Ernest Haycox and Jonathan Latimer, among other notable contributors of the era. A charming example of American magazine illustration from its golden age, this cover offers both visual appeal and a window into the gentle humor of pre-war American life. A standout piece for collectors of vintage periodicals or Depression-era illustration.
