John Philip FalterAntique Store Accident, Saturday Evening Post Cover
About the Item
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, June 20, 1959.
The Post described “After years of observing ancient chairs tremble and sway and utter squeaks of alarm, and then have nothing more happen, we are relieved to see one of them (with somebody else in it) go ahead and decompose. Artist John Falter’s scene evolved from his once seeing a massive man sit down in a drawing-room chair and go right through, all the way into the kindling wood. The Windsor-type chair on the cover was popular with colonial Americans, but it doesn't enchant the seated American, whose name is Mr. Downey. If Mr. D. loathes power tools and rebuilding sick furniture, what he has left would make a fine back rest in a rowboat. Or will he declare that the chair isn’t his, but still belongs to Mrs. Antique? If there’s going to be a fight, let's get out of here.”
(The Saturday Evening Post, June 20, 1959, p. 3)
