About the Item

Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, December 12, 1959.
The Post described, “Teacher is being kept long after school by John Howard’s mother. Mrs. H., deploring the low score on John’s report card, wonders out loud how this could happen to a boy who is naturally bright and perceptive and retentive; and teacher convinced that John got just what was coming to him, wonders silently, How many times have I heard this line before? Well, let's face the future hopefully. If Johny spends too much time dreaming out of the school window, probably he’ll become a framed poet or inventor, surprising his teacher to no end. Or if his problem is insufficient study, let’s believe Mrs. H. will improve her homework by making Jonny improve his. Meanwhile, what is artist Amos Sewell doing to help the boy out of his jam? Taking a vacation to Africa.”

"Every Sunday, Mowbray and the boy had dinner together"
By Tom Lovell
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Approximate Date: 1957
Medium: Oil on Board
Signature: Signed Lower Left
Size: 18.70" x 27.00"
Story illustration for The Master Move by George Loveridge, published in Good Housekeeping, November 1957.
An excerpt from the story reads: “In the evening Mowbray dined at a mahogany table designed to seat ten persons. To his left, in an intricate, gilded frame, hung an oil portrait of his father — a man with a majestic, full gray beard and the same beaked nose that his son had, but with milder eyes (p. 237)…Every Sunday, Mowbray and the boy had dinner together, the two of them at the long, broad, polished table under the eyes of Peter Mowbray. Mowbray often had to fly hundreds of miles to be on time for Sunday dinner with his son, but he did not once fail to be there.” (p. 239-240)
