Stevan Dohanos: King of Summer, Illustrated

Stevan Dohanos is the king of summer illustrations.  When you think of nostalgic summer art prints – you know, those old “Saturday Evening Post” covers – you probably recall the style of Stevan Dohanos.  The Ohio-born artist designed 125 such covers during his career, many of which bear his hallmark styles and scenes that lay the foundation for summer halcyon memories.  I’ve plucked just a few of these gems to share with you today.

“No Girls Allowed” – August 9, 1932

Dripping Cones – July 29, 1944

Baby and Nail Polish – July 22, 1950

Pete’s Double Headers – September 22, 1951

Packing the Car – September 8, 1956

Lighthouse Keeper – September 22, 1945

Labor Day Picnic – September 11, 1954

I pulled all of these images from AllPosters.com; if you want to see more or print your own Stevan Dohanos posters, you can find them here!
