Rare and charming original newsstand advertising poster for The Saturday Evening Post, dated November 4, 1939 (Volume 212, Number 19). This iconic piece features Norman Rockwell's celebrated cover illustration (1894–1978). Here is a moment shared by a county sheriff and a young criminal -- the former moved to tears by his prisoner’s soulful harmonica music. The old sheriff is sitting on a stool with his dog chained next to him, a shotgun in his hands and a set of keys hanging from his wrist. The issue featured the story of Helen Hayes. She was an American actress best known for being one of only two women to have received all four entertainment awards: an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. The accomplished entertainer acted from age 5 to 85. Produced by the Curtis Publishing Company, these large-format posters were displayed at newsstands nationwide to promote the latest issue of the nation's most popular magazine. Rockwell's masterful storytelling captures the humor, nostalgia, and small-town Americana that defined his legendary career, during which he created over 300 covers for The Saturday Evening Post from 1916 to 1963. A timeless slice of 20th-century cultural history, evoking the warmth and wit of Rockwell's enduring vision of American life. Ships rolled in a secure tube; worldwide shipping available.
