About the Item

Date: 1953 Medium: Oil on Masonite Dimensions: 42.00" x 32.50" Signature: Signed Lower Left 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?” (The Saturday Evening Post, January 31, 1953, p. 3)
