‘Icing on the Wedding Cake’. I love Dohanos’ covers, and this is one of his best. The background on how this cake wound up as a REAL wedding cake for a real World War II couple is fascinating. The only thing I don’t like about some of the covers in this period are the cover blurb squares. With no “open space” I can see the dilemma they had with where to put ANY words!

‘Wedding March’ is great. I thought Van Brundt looked familiar. It’s a different facial angle, but I recognized him from the Rockwell cover of the cowboy listening to the old gramophone.

‘Patient Groom’ also has a strong Leyendecker influence in the elegant background as you stated. Neat cover.

‘There Goes the Bride’ really IS unusual. I’m not familiar with Foster, and I’m looking forward to ‘The Fun Covers of Alan Foster’.

‘Wedding Reception’. I love Ben Prins’ covers. This one’s one of my favorites. The majority of ’62 covers were still traditionally POST, but there were a handful of photo covers that (I suppose) helped ease the readers into the 1963-’68 time period.
