During the period 1937-39, William MacHarg continued to produce roughly seven O’Malley stories per year for Collier’s, and all were illustrated by Timmins.  Nine O’Malley illustrations from this period are presented below, with story text removed for a cleaner presentation.  This period is interesting because, midway through 1939, Harry’s style for the O’Malley illustrations shifted abruptly in a more glamourous and, at times, pulpy direction.  The O’Malley style shift parallels a more general glamourous stylistic shift which, while hinted at as early as 1937 in other illustrations, occurred across the board in 1939.  Whether the stylistic shift was internally generated, occurred in response to the glamourous work of Al Parker, Jon Whitcomb and their ilk, or came in response to input from magazine art directors, is impossible to say.  Whatever the source of the shift, Timmins seems quite at home and at ease in the new style.
