Framed Vintage Magazine Posters

Although most magazines today use photographs on the cover, for many decades, artists typically painted covers for magazines. A few magazines still maintain this tradition Some of the most enduring ones are available as framed vintage magazine posters.

One magazine that has continued the tradition of painted covers is The Saturday Evening Post. Readers often look forward to the cover as much as they do the magazine’s content. The artist most frequently associated with The Saturday Evening Post is Norman Rockwell. “Grandpa’s Little Ballerina” and “Triple Self-Portrait” are just a few of the dozens of examples of framed vintage magazine artwork that Rockwell painted for that magazine over several decades. J.C. Leyendecker’s “Feeding Time” and Ellen Pyle’s “Bathing Beauty and Beach Ball” also adorned the cover of The Saturday Evening Post and have a similar artistic style to Rockwell.
