I agree! The Jacob’s ladder pictures were the best. I didn’t recognize Helen Sewell’s name, but when I looked her up, I sure recognized her art. (Hint: early-to-mid-20th century children’s book illustrator, but you’d probably have to be familiar with that genre.) Cool collection, Ardis.

Thanks for looking, Clair. Without doubt, my favorite of the Jacob’s ladder depictions is the one by Helen Sewell. Hers was a little later than the others, but I liked them so well (there are a few more, later) that I stretched my original cutoff dates.

Some nice art here. Jacob’s ladder is such an esoteric vision — and its fun to see it put into art.
