Signature: Signed Lower Right
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, February 5, 1955.
The Post described, “The fond parents of little Charley Caterwaul have launched him in music lessons and yet he is not glowy-eyed with gratitude. Perhaps he is depressed because he must practice half an hour each weekday until summer vacation —say fifty hours— and he has now done five minutes. Well, probably little violinists can't comprehend the value of years of wailing toil —one out of a hundred of them may become a glorious artist, quite a number will make the school orchestra and truly savor being creative, and the rest will at least learn that there’s more to producing lovely melody than turning an electric switch. Now, then, Charley, stop holding that bow like a baseball bat! And can’t you be thoughtful enough to let your mother wear ear muffs?”

Richard Sargent
Richard 'Dick' Sargent, one of The Saturday Evening Post’s most prolific illustrators, was a Midwesterner born in Moline, Illinois, on March 26, 1911. His early career in art began just after his graduation from Moline High School when he went to work for a local printing and engraving plant. While there, Sargent attended night classes at the Moline Illinois Art School, the foundation for his future career as an artist. Sargent then studied at the Corcoran School of Art, and in 1951, he completed his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post, “Truth About Santa,” for the December 15 Christmas issue. While Sargent’s popularity grew through the exposure he received with the Post, he also did illustration work for magazines such as Fortune, Woman’s Day, Photoplay, and American Magazine among others. Americans adored Sargent and his art for his ability to show relatable, pregnant scenes with open-ended conclusions that commented on the situational comedy of life. In the late 1960s he retired to the Andalusia region of Spain and died there in 1978.
