“Spring Pageant” by Frances Tipton Hunter on the cover of “The Saturday Evening Post,” April 12, 1941.
Frances Tipton Hunter (1896-1957) was an illustrator who created covers for “Collier’s,” “The Saturday Evening Post” and many other magazines between the 1920s and 1950s. Her work is very similar in style to that of Norman Rockwell. Her favorite subject was children and their pets and her watercolors delightfully captured nature at its best. Due to her talent and the characters she created, Hunter became the most popular and bestselling calendar artist of the 1940s-50s. Her memorable subjects were welcome therapy to millions recovering from the horridness of WWII. [Source: Wikipedia]
