About the Item
Cover of The Saturday Evening Post, August 2, 1958
------
Editorial text on page 3 of the Post with this featured illustration:
"Artist Alajalov, reaching for a dictionary which once helped him through a tour of Italy’s hill towns, describes those U.S lasses as bellezze- the belles, the beauties. And with his brush he brings us a charming blend of customs and costumes old and new. On one fair head a pony tail, on another a jug of water from the town fountain. Short pants- long skirts; radio. Record player- a can of benzina in case it’s a long pull to the next benzina station. Could it be, marvel the onlookers, that those signorine are traipsing around Europe completely without chaperones? It could. Well then, beauties let’s go; but heed well those newfangled traffic signs on the oldfangled architecture. Speed 10 kilometers, says 6 mph; zigzag road: and that slant- crossed “P” means no parking."
----
In Coed Tourists in Italy, Alajálov portrays the Golden Age of Travel, a post-World War II era when a strong US dollar and advances in transportation made European tourism a growing trend among Americans. With humor and warmth, he illustrates young, independent American women attempting to fit their many purchases into a classic roadster, while a village watches on. This cover of The Saturday Evening Post offers a fascinating glimpse, not only into how Americans saw themselves but also how they were perceived by the world.
