The Post featured a Rockwell illustration on its cover four times in 1917. Boy at BarberIn the painting, Norman Rockwell gives us a glimpse into charity giving in the Teens. The giver in this illustration is an elderly gentleman. He is dressed in fine clothes. Everything about him suggests that he is at least somewhat wealthy and can easily afford to be charitable. From the carnation in his lapel to the spats on his shoes, he looks the part. He holds his cane on one arm. He has removed his top hat and one of his gloves. He is reaching into his pocket with the ungloved hand to find a contribution.
Red Cross Volunteer was only one of 322 Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post covers; Here is the list of Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post cover illustrations.
