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 well-known artists and illustrators. Publishers chose a painting by artist Doris Lee for this May 1946 issue.
