| "Santa Consulting Globe" by Norman Rockwell The Saturday Evening Post Cover December 4, 1926 Norman Rockwell Museum |
A great museum to visit in Western Massachusetts is the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge! Familiar favorite works of art along with new exhibits are always so interesting. A few years ago when we took the short "road trip" to the Berkshires to visit, we enjoyed viewing the covers of The Saturday Evening Post that were illustrated by this artist. There were so many! Each so very interesting to view!
Suddenly, I saw Santa Claus! It is timeless! Santa is holding a book titled Good Boys as he uses his globe and magnifying glass to plan his route. It's also interesting to learn that the magazine cost 5 cents in 1926.
History is fascinating! Viewing "Santa Consulting Globe" has reminded me that we need to make the yearly visit to the Norman Rockwell Museum and enjoy dinner at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, MA, soon.
Enjoy!
