In this lot is a Norman Rockwell (1894 to 1978) ‘Men of Tomorrow’ print. ‘Men of Tomorrow’ was done for a 1948 calendar illustration for the Boy Scouts of America for Brown & Bigelow Co. In 1924, Rockwell began painting what would become a half-century of calendar images for the Boys Scouts of America. Each of these featured a scouting-themed painting using models from his successive home towns of New Rochelle, New York, Arlington, Vermont, and Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The yearly calendar was published by Brown & Bigelow, one of the nation's largest calendar publishers. Today, the Boys Scouts of America own a sizable portion of the fifty-two calendar scenes that Rockwell painted. This depiction of boy scouts preparing to canoe was used as the 1948 calendar illustration. The print has minor damage and is loose in the frame, which also has minor damage. The print measures 19 3/4" X 15 3/4" and is in a 24" X 20" frame.
