Specialties

For over thirty years, Illustration House has been America's foremost gallery devoted to the art and history of illustration. The gallery offers a fascinating look at the intersection of American popular culture and art history of the past. Thousands of oil paintings, drawing and watercolors cover a broad range of styles, genres (including poster design, books decoration, advertising, comic strip, calendar art, record album and magazine covers) and subjects -- science fiction, romance, history, suspense, fairy tales, pin-ups, humor and fashion, to name a few. With Illustration House's founding in 1974, Walt Reed pioneered the market in the resale of original illustration art. Initially based in Westport, Connecticut, Walt personally knew many of the great illustrators, including Norman Rockwell, Tom Lovell, Al Parker, Jon Whitcomb, Stevan Dohanos, and has authored monographs on Harold von Schmidt, John Clymer, and Joseph Clement Coll.
