Norman Rockwell Advertising Art: 1955 to 1959



Norman Rockwell advertising artwork was published hundreds of times over the years...
(continued)



Norman Rockwell's prowess at touching his viewer's emotions was prized not only by magazine art editors, but also by advertisers.

Rockwell's advertising career started in 1914 with a Heinz ad in the Boy Scout Handbook and ended 64 years later in 1976 with Lancaster Turkeys. There may be later published advertising art, but I have been unable to find any.

Pan American, Massachusetts Mutual and Crest were the major Rockwell advertisers of this period.

Scan the list and see how many you recognize.
