About the author

Norman Percevel Rockwell was a 20th century American painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States, where Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenarios he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over more than four decades. Among the best-known of Rockwell's works are the Willie Gillis series, Rosie the Riveter (although his Rosie was reproduced less than others of the day), Saying Grace (1951), and the Four Freedoms series.

Reviews

[Marion · Rating 4 out of 5]

A delightful collection of Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post covers, mostly from the mid 40's to the 60's. Great backstories on how the pictures were conceived and who the models were. Very interesting.

These are the Post covers from Nov 27, 1943 through Summer 1971. 108 prints in all. Huge book with brief text on the left, and then full-size Post cover on the right. Arranged chronologically. This is a beautiful layout I'm glad I own (found in a used book store).
