The five covers below were done by an artist named Jay Weaver. I searched for biographical information about Jay Weaver but I couldn’t find much. I did come across a painter named Jay Weaver who had a few shows in New York City and who died in 1960. However, it appears that Jay Weaver was born in 1936. Since the covers below were all done in the 20s, it must just be a case of two artists having the same name.
Jay Weaver has a distinctive style, that’s for sure. Though Weaver wouldn’t have had anything to do with them, I also like reading the headlines on the covers. What kind of girls smoke? Good question!
