“Rowdy Bus Ride” by Amos Sewell on the cover of “The Saturday Evening Post,” September 9, 1950.
“Amos Sewell (1901-1983) is best known for the covers and illustrations he designed for many magazines and for his depictions in popular 20th century pulp magazines. He was privately contracted to illustrate for large national advertising accounts, but admitted that he had to give those up to focus on his added workload from “The Saturday Evening Post.” Though Amos and his wife Ruth had no children of their own, the artist idealized childhood, often choosing to depict children at play or unknowingly making mistakes. Today, Amos Sewell is remembered as one of the Post’s best artist-illustrators.” [From The Saturday Evening Post Archives]
