Harrison Fisher was a 20th-century American artist known for his drawings of women, portraits that regularly appeared on early 1900s editions of Cosmopolitan magazine. Bachelor Belles is a 1908 portfolio of Fisher’s portraits, each beautifully colored. These 21 illustrations are paired with American poetry and short stories and illustrated page decorations by Theodore Hapgood.

This first edition was notable not only for its art but also for its role in shaping the ideals of American beauty. Hapgood’s decorative designs bring a further dimension to the presentation. For collectors, Bachelor Belles remains a central example of Fisher’s artistry in book form.
