I included this one for two reasons. First, it is a very well done piece. I initially thought I had found a rare Leyendecker work that didn't include men or boys, but there they are in the background. Second, this is the last Saturday Evening Post Thanksgiving cover by Leyendecker I could find. As you will see in the next panel, major career changes were on the horizon.
I think it's incredible that the price of an issue of the Saturday Evening Post remained a nickel from 1907 through 1939.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed, but it is indeed remarkable!
DeleteIt is also worth mentioning that that cover mentions two very good authors that have pieces inside.
ReplyDeleteI agree and thank you for pointing that out.
