J. C. Does J. C.

Back in the 1920s and 30s, vast multitudes of people across the country eagerly awaited the annual Saturday Evening Post Christmas cover by J.C. Leyendecker. Well I can certainly see why. These five below are my favorites, and I'll bet some of yours too.

    Leyendeckers are always a treat for the eyes, no matter how many times a person sees them. The piece from 1927 pulls me back again and again to admire. Thanks for commenting Steve.
