Artist: Lucile Patterson Marsh Date: 1930 A lovely and detailed depiction of children in the park presented in a dreamy, maze-like manner with messages like "do not feed the elephant" and "no dogs allowed" hidden on the paths beneath bicycles and carousel horses. This cover, designed by Lucile Patterson Marsh was created for the most influential editor of Woman's Home Companion - Gertrude Battles Lane. Lane's view of her role was that: "In editing the Woman's Home Companion, I keep constantly in mind a picture of the housewife of today as I see her. She is not the woman who wants to do morehousework, but the woman who wants to do less housework so that she will have more time for other things.
Linen-backed and ready to frame. |
