Albert Seligman is a lifelong fan of illustrated books and magazines and passed many pleasant hours collecting books and sharing information and images with fellow collectors and dealers. He was especially interested in the "Golden Age of Illustration" between 1875-1925. and was a strong collector of Edmund Dulac illustrated books. He was able to photograph the complete collection of his American Weekly magazine illustrations from the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art owned by Bill Blackbeard. 

The American Weekly was the Sunday supplement for the WR Hearst newspaper chain, and boasted over 50 million readers in over 20 major markets. The complete collection of 106 illustrations is now housed at The Ohio State University in the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum. These American Weekly illustrations have rarely appeared in print since their publication, and this is the first ever complete edition. 

Today, Albert's mission is to meticulously restore and publish these rare literary illustrations, making high-quality print and digital editions accessible to a new generation of art collectors, historians, and bibliophiles.
