Amos Sewell had a special empathy for children and also particularly enjoyed depicting homespun, rural subjects. These special gifts were ideally combined in the illustrations he made for a series of stories about Babe, Little Joe, Big Joe, and Uncle Pete by R.

One of his best-loved covers is “Visiting Hours,” where a father and son come to visit Mom in the hospital. Since the misses appears to be recovering nicely, their attention drifts to the baseball game on television. Notice the rabbit ears, the black and white television...
