ThanksgivingNorman Rockwell painted many Thanksgiving images over the course of his career as an illustrator. This is one of my favorites. Thanksgiving was only one of 47 Norman Rockwell Literary Digest covers; here is the list of more Norman Rockwell Literary Digest scans.
Here is the complete list of all Norman Rockwell magazine covers. This picture actually makes my mouth water. I can almost smell the turkey. The turkey and extras look that realistic. Norman Rockwell painted this illustration for the first Thanksgiving after World War I was over. For many serviceman, this Thanksgiving was their first at home with wife, mother or grandmother in at least two years. Thanksgiving has always been a time of celebration of being together. Mother has always been more important than the turkey. Rockwell conveys that message with this picture.
