About the Item
Gravure Full Page in Woman's Home Companion Magazine
A wonderful and very detailed full page art supplement for the September 1922 issue of the Woman's Home Companion.
Charles Sheldon's exquisitely detailed portrait of fashion designer Peggy Hoyt was featured in the September 1922 art supplement of Woman's Home Companion. Hoyt models a striking Art Nouveau hat from her autumn millinery collection: a close-fitting turban crafted from opulent satin, its severity artfully softened by delicate, glycerined ostrich feathers. Sheldon employed multiple photographic studies of Hoyt to achieve the nuanced rendering of this elegant portrait.
Peggy Hoyt, born Mary Alice Stephens, began her fashion career at seventeen as an apprentice in a Fifth Avenue millinery shop and would go on to become a highly successful fashion designer whose creations rivaled the elegance of Parisian couture. By 1910, with a modest $300 loan from her mother, Hoyt established her own millinery boutique on Fifth Avenue, a hub of luxury retail, and by 1915, Peggy Hoyt, Inc. was a thriving enterprise. She ultimately relocated her growing business to the elegant Phillip Rhinelander mansion at 16 East 55th Street in Manhattan in the late 1910s. There, she introduced women's apparel to her offerings and transformed the stately mansion into one of America's most exquisite fashion destinations.
Hoyt swiftly established herself as a leading American designer of gowns and millinery. Her signature aesthetic, characterized by delicate pastels, shimmering rhinestone embellishments, and distinctive handkerchief hems, underscored her unwavering commitment to meticulous craftsmanship. For nearly two decades, she catered to an exclusive clientele across major American cities, solidifying her legacy in the world of high fashion.
Very stylized Art Nouveau illustration includes many photographs taken by Sheldon himself of the model.

Charles Sheldon
Charles Sheldon was a prolific American illustrator, born in 1889. He created many movie magazine covers featuring Golden Age Hollywood icons. The pastels he created for Photoplay, from 1925–30, included glamorous depictions of Hollywood film stars, like Clara Bow, Mae West, Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, Gilda Gray, Mary Pickford and numerous other Hollywood enchantresses. Unlike many movie magazine illustrators, who primarily worked off publicity photos, many of these stars sat for him. Along with his work for Photoplay, the artist worked for Screenland, Movie Classic and Radio Digest magazines.
