Authentic September 5, 1942 Saturday Evening Post Cover Norman Rockwell

This is an authentic magazine cover. Not a reproduction. By the iconic artist Norman Rockwell. Great image titled \"The Every Soldier\" . Two lovely ladies are at their mailboxes, but the situation isn’t pretty. Seems both have been communicating with the same soldier, Willie Gillis. Not the first time we find Willie in hot water. Norman Rockwell created Willie Gillis as a kind of “every soldier,” not a strong-jawed, strapping hero, but a young man who, although in uniform, pretty much resembled the kid next door. This is perhaps most apparent in the July 25, 1942 cover showing Willie sitting in church. Alone in the pew, as far as we can see, he looks reverential and vulnerable. We like this kid. But he did seem to have a way with the ladies. The February 7, 1942 cover shows Willie being plied with goodies from not one, but two attentive USO workers. The June 27 cover of the same year shows the soldier and a lovely lass reviewing an official booklet entitled, What To Do in a Blackout. Willie appears to have some thoughts on the subject. The first cover that featured Willie was October 4, 1941. Willie received a package from home labeled “FOOD.” He is looking over his shoulder, closely trailed by a half dozen eager soldiers. And it would appear they all outrank Willie. Page has light wear on the side cut from the magazine. No fold creases, bright colors, no tears. Has mailing label. Measures about 10 x 14 inches.
