Ah, yes, who doesn't like going off to distant lands and viewing all those famous landmarks up close? However, as you do so, Norman Rockwell wants you to give some thought to those working stiffs who make such travel possible:
In 1937 anyway. By now it's all been digitalized.
I had to look up Senator Vandenberg. Happy World Tourism Day.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mitchell, that has nothing to do with Rockwell's illustration. It's just telling you the lead article on the inside of the magazine.
DeleteFor anyone who's curious, Vandenberg was an anti-FDR politician, so the figure cited is probably just him bitching about New Deal spending.
I knew it wasn’t part of the illustration, but it made me curious.
DeleteActually, Mitchell, when I chose that cover, I was concerned someone might think Senator Vandenberg was the man in the ticket window.
DeleteYes, and we need to remember this when we travel.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, an airport baggage handler would have made the same point equally well.
DeleteI've never seen that Norman Rockwell illustration before!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased that you saw it on this blog first, Debra.
DeleteSince I spend most of my time in the basement on the computer, maybe I'll tour the first floor and see what I've been missing.
ReplyDeleteRemember to send a post card, Mike.

DeleteThat's an eye-catching graphic. Yeah, I'm glad everything's digital now, especially when traveling.
ReplyDeleteRockwell excelled in eye-catching graphics, Lux.
