About the Item
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, August 11, 1951.
The Post described, “Make the acquaintance of Kit Dunham, a Westport, Connecticut, lepidopterist. This is only his butterfly department; Stevan Dohanos says that the rest of his bedroom really gets complicated, for Kit also collects other undomesticated creatures and affectionately maintains many of them alive as roommates. Among his buddies, is a harmless but startling ball python, which Kit purchased one winter day in a New York animal store and brought home on the train in a bag inside his shirt so that it would not catch a sore throat. Kit’s ambition is to grow from a small naturalist into a big one. He probably won't get detoured into a career in Yankee Stadium, although we note that he has a fine specimen of an American baseball”.

Stevan Dohanos
Stevan Dohanos was born in the steel mill town of Lorain, Ohio, on May 18, 1907. Dohanos studied at the Cleveland School of the Arts. He is best known for the covers, more than 100, he painted for The Saturday Evening Post magazine during the 1940s and 1950s. His work appeared frequently on its covers. Most of his illustrations depicted common scenes of everyday post-war American life, such as a mobile home complete with pink flamingo, a gas station attendant inflating a child's toy or a souped-up motorcycle in the owner's driveway. His works are often compared to those of Norman Rockwell. Dohanos was influenced by The Eight namely Henri, Sloan, Glackens, Shinn, Prendergast, Davies, Lawson and Luks. During the 1960s, his designs were used on 25 postage stamps. From 1961–63, he served as a President of the Society of Illustrators and in 1971 was elected to the Society's Hall of Fame. He was a founder of the Famous Artists School in Westport. Dohanos died on July 2, 1994, in Westport, Connecticut.
