Norman Rockwell (1894 - 1978) is best known for his 320+ Saturday Evening Post covers. Though his illustrations brought him wealth and popularity with the American public, Rockwell longed to be taken seriously as a painter rather than "just an illustrator". The Saturday Evening Post Collection features jigsaw puzzles of some of his best work for this publication.
