About the Item

Medium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Left Sight Size 26.00" x 24.00", Framed 32.00" x 20.00" Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, December 12, 1959. The Post described, “Teacher is being kept long after school by John Howard’s mother. Mrs. H., deploring the low score on John’s report card, wonders out loud how this could happen to a boy who is naturally bright and perceptive and retentive; and teacher convinced that John got just what was coming to him, wonders silently, How many times have I heard this line before? Well, let's face the future hopefully. If Johny spends too much time dreaming out of the school window, probably he’ll become a framed poet or inventor, surprising his teacher to no end. Or if his problem is insufficient study, let’s believe Mrs. H. will improve her homework by making Jonny improve his. Meanwhile, what is artist Amos Sewell doing to help the boy out of his jam? Taking a vacation to Africa.” (The Saturday Evening Post, December 12, 1959, p. 3)
