My husband and I love the Rockwell covers.
We are in our 70′s and remember the times of covers.

Thanks,
Liz & Bill

Very interesting information on some of these great covers. The trouble getting a baby to cry was quite funny – a dropped cookie would do it. The information about the fans above the dugout was quite a surprise, the wife of the Braves pitcher and daughter of a Braves coach. By Charlie Grimm in the Cubs dugout is star outfielder Andy Pafko. While the Cubs were bad in 1948, they had just been to the World Series in 1945. They haven’t been since.

It’s so great to see and be taken behind-the-scenes of some of Rockwell’s best covers of the ’40s.

‘The Gossips’ is so fascinating to study, and is a personal favorite. It also tells a timeless cautionary tale of what goes around comes around.

‘The Babysitter’ requires a lot of study in its detail and complexity. The info provided on the baby boy is a story in itself. I really wonder if he’s always had a happy disposition through life. I’ve never heard of such a happy baby before. Wow.

With ‘The Correct Time’, there are a lot of nooks and crannies to study. It’s also a reminder to me I gotta set the clocks ahead an hour tonight!

Was an avid SEP fan as a child, late twenties and the thirties.

Am a Baby boomer who have an OLD soul. Seeing great pictures from the 1940′s to 1960″s brings back memory of how simple and romantic life was back then. The Saturday Evening Post had brought this to me by sharing paintings of a legendary painter, Norman Rockwell. Without any caption, you can tell what the painting has to say. I may not be in possession or have an expensive piece of this legendary painter, but, having this published in your magazine is an honor to possess, to view and to share… Thanks!!
