An illustration by Frank Gavencky I just ran across. 
Just ran across this issue of the Inland Printer from 1909. Otto Hake executed the handsome cover.
Holger Jensen won the Gold Medal at the P&C in 1934. I was unfamiliar with any of his work until I ran across this piece: 
Felice Calchi has a great post about a monumental sculpture by Lorado Taft on the Rock River here in Illinois. Taft of course was one of the artists involved in the birth of the P&C–he was a mentor to the founding members.
This looks very handsome.
This Saturday, October 13 at 1:30 p.m., I’ll be giving a brief illustrated talk about the history of the Palette and Chisel. The talk will be in the main room at the club, 1012 N. Dearborn St. It’s part of the Chicago Architectural Foundation’s open house weekend. Everyone is invited, so I hope I see you there!
Beautiful portrait bust of Ezra Winter, done by Joseph Renier–in the Smithsonian collection. 
Ezra Winter was a wildly successful artist in the 20′s and 30′s, winner of the 1911 Prix de Rome, designer of grand murals, including “The Fountain of Youth” at Radio City Music Hall, playboy, bon vivant, explorer (he travelled to Antarctica to collect specimens of sea life), “quite possibly the most famous artist you’ve never heard of.”
He was also once a member of the Palette and Chisel. Here is his winning entry for the Rome Prize:
Now you can read a wonderful series of blog articles about him. They are at The Ezra Winter Project, written by Jessica Helfand. Jessica Helfand has taught for fifteen years in the graduate program in graphic design in the School of Art at Yale College.
So far, there are nine chapters. You will enjoy each of them.
Nice painting (12 x 15″) by former member Arthur Rider: 
A colored etching, entitled “Salt Creek,” by Louis Oscar Griffith.
Louis Oscar Griffith was an early member of the club and won the gold medal in 1921; here he is painting in Brown County, Indiana, in about 1927:
I’ve found a couple images of his work, one a painting, one an etching:
