In 1940, Timmins began illustrating stories for the Canadian magazine Maclean’s. Over an 8 year period, he illustrated 22 stories for Maclean’s, a relatively low volume. Further, 7 of those illustrations were for the serial Turn Back The Clock. Timmins final major story illustrations were for Maclean’s, and one gets a sense of the evolution of his style in this post-Collier’s era work. The images presented below are highly processed scans available on the web, which I cleaned up a bit. Physical copies of Maclean’s appear not to be available in western US libraries. Some detail may be missing in what is presented below… Story text has been removed for a cleaner presentation.
