Artifact Overview

From 1952 through 1972 Rockwell created portraits of the major party candidates for the presidency. By the mid-1950s his images became so iconic enough that he was commissioned by the Republican Party to illustrate the cover of the 1957 inaugural program, featuring President Dwight Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon.
