Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, January 31, 1953.
The Post described, “Santa Claus recently whispered down a chimney to us that half the fun of Christmas is watching children play with their presents afterward, and that if the presents prove to be educational ho! ho! so much the more fun. We guess Santa tipped off Stevan Dohanos to observe these little ladies blissfully learning how to boil water without forgetting it and melting the pot down into the stove, and other complex principles of homemaking. The only un-educational toys in sight are the dolls for they are sniveling, hollering, raging around the room like maniacs or falling to the stove, as normal children do. And now for the ticklish question: Will the little girls wash those dishes or go find a little boy to do it?”

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.
