1921 The American Magazine Cover ~ Norman Rockwell ~ Sleepy Scholar

This is the original cover of The American Magazine dated May 1921. A young boy appears quite bored with his Latin lessons. His baseball lies on the desk next to his book. I'll bet he'd rather be outside playing ball.

Artist/Illustrator/Photographer: Norman Rockwell

Approximate Size (in inches): 8½ x 11½

Condition: Very good. Address label lower right.

This is the cover only . . . not the entire magazine.

Please note:

Although we have given a very general grade for condition, please keep in mind that magazine covers suffer much harsher treatment than the rest of the magazine. After years of being handled and tossed around, it is likely that an old cover will show signs of wear including small rips, creases, discoloration/staining, edge chipping, general surface wear, etc.

If there is anything more severe, we will note that in the description. It is also helpful to look closely at the picture(s) we have provided above to get a better idea of condition of this cover.
