About the Item
Medium: Gouache on Board
Signature: Signed Lower Left
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, September 5, 1953.
The Post described, “One of childhood’s most delightful experiences is to sleep outdoors at night where it is uncomfortable and terrifying. If a lad is torn from sleep by the whispering of a ghost, the scream of a madwoman or the exploding of a bomb—(a whispering pine, a screech owl or the cat tips over the garbage can), all his life the memory of the horror will somehow be hauntingly pleasant, and he will muse, “Ah, to be a child again!” Most adults get scared pie-eyed in their own beds by strange noises in the house; so why yearn for childhood? The lads in Sewell’s painting have one greater thrill ahead, the night they use sleeping bags out under the bare, mysterious stars. That will be the night of the big electric storm and cloudburst.”
(The Saturday Evening Post, September 5, 1953, p. 3)
