J. C. Leyendecker's study for the January 1, 1938 cover of the Saturday Evening Post is an important preliminary work by a major illustrator. It depicts the New Year's baby of 1938. The original artwork seems to have undergone a significant decline in sale price since 1991, perhaps owing to nothing more than the vagaries of today's art auction market.
