Gayle Porter Hoskins
Gayle Porter Hoskins (1887–1962) was an American illustrator and painter known for his work in pulp magazines and adventure fiction during the early 20th century. He illustrated for publications like "The Saturday Evening Post" and "Harper's Weekly," creating dynamic covers and illustrations for westerns, crime, and romance stories. Hoskins was particularly recognized for his work in magazines like "Redbook" and "The Blue Book." In addition to his commercial art, he also focused on historical and western-themed paintings, and his work helped shape the visual aesthetic of American storytelling in that era.
