One More Week of School by Norman Rockwell

June 14, 1919 Issue of The Country Gentleman



One More Week of School, this Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Country Gentleman published June 14, 1919.

This was the thirteenth cover in the popular Cousin Reginald series.

This illustration was also the thirteenth Country Gentleman cover by Norman Rockwell. Rockwell painted thirty-three covers for The Country Gentleman starting in August 1917, the first Cousin Reginald cover, and continuing through April 1922.

This was also the first installment of a two parter -continued next week- cover series. Click here for the next installment - Vacation.

One More Week of School

Even though the title doesn't actually include Reginald's name, the characters are obviously city Cousin Reginald Claude Fitzhugh and country Cousins Rusty and Tubby Doolittle. The only thing missing is Reginald's glasses.

Norman Rockwell captures two contrasting emotions in this painting. In the next painting in the series, he flipflops the same emotions onto different characters.

Reginald, being the teacher's pet, is in his element when he is in a school classroom. He is carefully carrying his books firmly in hand. He doesn't want to accidentally drop them. He is also carrying a bouquet of flowers for Teacher.

Rusty and Tubby almost look like they are crying! They are so downhearted. It almost seems like torture to them that school has even one more week to continue before vacation. Their heads are down and their eyes are looking at the ground.

But wait til next week .
