THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. 1939.

Condition A. Paper.
Commemorating the "100th Year of Baseball", Rockwell presents a pitcher in light gray with red stripes going through a body-bending wind-up, with an umpire dressed in black and green with a gray derby behind him. Starting in the 1920s, Norman Rockwell continued creating covers for the Saturday Evening Post for over 40 years. The actual cover for the July 8, 1939 issue featured this same image.
