Auction History Result 8m032 SATURDAY EVENING POST magazine cover April 4, 1908 art of cute kids by J.C. Leyendecker! Date Sold 6/10/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Paperbacked Magazine Cover (measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Saturday Evening Post, the national magazine that was similar to Life magazine (which it preceded by over 200 years, because it was first published by Benjamin Franklin in 1728!), but which had more of a literary bent to it, with stories and condensed novels by notable authors, but with many well illustrated articles on current events and pop culture. The covers were always by "name" artists, and legendary artist Norman Rockwell became closely associated with the magazine and did more covers for them than almost anyone. The magazine was printed on a high quality paper stock, while many of its competitors were printed on "pulp" paper, so the issues of this magazine survive better and are of a much better quality. Artist: J.C. Leyendecker Important Added Info: Note that this is solely the cover of the magazine and that it has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the magazine cover had smudges, darkening, and minor wear around the edges. Overall, the magazine cover was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the magazine cover "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the magazine cover).
