“Mighty Proud” by Norman Rockwell on the cover of “Boys’ Life,” February 1958.
This Month’s Cover:
“This issue is graced with a cover by Norman Rockwell, America’s most popular illustrator. Mr. Rockwell has depicted the bright and tender moments of American life, and Scouting has been a frequent subject. One reason for this may be that way back when 'Boys’ Life' was a yearling, a bright 17-year-old artist began illustrating some of the stories in the magazine. It was the same Mr. Rockwell, and the association has been a lasting one. Every year 'Boys’ Life' publishes a cover taken from the Brown and Bigelow calendar, which has been a bestseller for thirty years. It’s become our best habit.”
