The Departing Maid

From 1916 to 1963 Rockwell created many covers for The Saturday Evening Post. Cherished for his ability to touch the hearts of people of all ages, Rockwell allowed Americans to smile during difficult times. Cognizant of the barrage of gloomy headlines from newspapers and radio through numerous wars and The Great Depression, he chose to aid millions of Americans in a way no one else could. Many of his covers were filled with overt messages of optimism, hope, and humor. Approved by the Norman Rockwell Family Agency
