Norman Rockwell gave us a picture of America that was familiar--astonishingly so--and at the same time unique, because only he could bring it to life with such authority.

Rockwell best expressed this vision of America in his justly famous cover illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post, painted between 1916 and 1963. All of his Post covers are reproduced in splendid full color in this oversized volume, with commentaries by Christopher Finch, the noted writer on art and popular culture.
