Artifact Overview

The Saturday Evening Post, first published in 1821 as a four-page weekly newspaper, became one of America's most popular weekly publications by the mid-1900s. The magazine contained news, commentaries, fiction, and general interest articles. But its most distinctive feature was its front cover illustrations by artists such as George Hughes, John Falter, J.C. Leyendecker, and Norman Rockwell.
