Study for a Saturday Evening Post cover (December 11, 1954), by Amos Sewell (American, 1901-1883).

Sewell sustained a strong relationship with the Saturday Evening Post, illustrating 45 covers between 1949 and 1962. He also achieved recognition as a WWII wartime artist and won a special art award for his War Bond ad illustration, What’s It Like to Die?

Here is an amazing opportunity to research unique documents online, available throught the efforts of the Pamplin Historical Park.

Pamplin Historical Park and the Museum of the Civil War Soldier is proud to have among our collection of artifacts and images, a large archive of documents dating from the 18th to 20th Centuries – including the famed Wiley Sword Collection which was donated in 2015. Many of those documents are too delicate for display, so to advance our mission of education and preservation we are making digital versions of these invaluable resources available to the public for use and research.
