Cobbler Studying Doll's ShoeHere Norman Rockwell presents us with yet another humorous situation. Cobbler Studying Doll's Shoe 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 cobbler is being asked by a little girl to fix the shoe of a doll. The quizzical look on his face is almost comical. Does he have the skill and equipment for this job? We see equipment for regular size shoes on his workbench, but no miniature tools. The little girl is watching intently. Her doll needs a shoe. Maybe she is his granddaughter. That would explain why he is interrupting his work on the boot in his lap. Or maybe his motto is "No job too big or too small."
