Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, May 10, 1952.
The Post described, “The two gentlemen pupils in our dance teachery are of opposite types, the grim foot-analyst and the carefree charge-about who lets feet fall where they may. The analyst will carefully shove his shoes around according to the dotted line around according to the dotted line on Stevan Dohanos’ chart, but when he comes to the end of the dotted line and is on his own, he will tend to go to pieces from fright. As he improves, he will have to be broken of the habit of peering down at his feet instead gazing into his partner’s eyes. Gradually the other man will be tamed down to a system of antics that any reasonably psychic woman can follow without catastrophe. And don’t worry about the lady pupil; that able young man will slowly but surely hitch wings to her clodhoppers.”

Clymer's coverscape takes you to Massachusetts' tidelands where the frost is on the pumpkin and the red and gold areon the trees. Gloucester harbor and the inlets roundabout-- for three centuries this haven has been the homeport of renowned and valiant fisherman. They were the Captains Courageous of Rudyard Kipling, the hero’s of Longfellow's The Wreck of the Hesperus and of James B. Connolly's tales of the sea. John Ford Clymer's success as an artist can be traced to his boyhood in the Kittitas Valley located in the central regions of Washington state. It was there that he developed an enthusiasm for the world around him and an abiding respect for historical accuracy. Over the years John Clymer received numerous awards and honors including the revered Prix de West in 1976, from the national Academy of Western Art. Other great achievements included both gold and silver metals for his oils and charcoal drawings from the Cowboy Artists of America, "Western Artist of the Year" from the National Wildlife Art Collectors Society, and both John and Doris were honored at the Ellensburg National Art Show and Auction for their contributions to western heritage.
