J. C. Leyendecker was one of the Saturday Evening Post's great cover artists. On February 25, 1939, the Post published this sober portrait of George Washington with a ruddy complexion. A poster of this magazine cover was sold on February 2 at Swann Galleries in their Vintage Posters sale.
Note: My previous post concerning poster art was published just yesterday!
