Settling an Argument by Norman RockwellJune 24, 1922 Issue of The Literary DigestSettling an Argument, this Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Literary Digest published June 24, 1922...

Here is the complete list of all Norman Rockwell magazine covers. Also seen on the table are pictures of famous figures in history. There is also a skull paperweight. One gentleman holds a magnifying glass to the North American side of the globe. He also holds a copy of The Literary Digest.
