And the best for last . . . Illustrator J.C. Leyendecker, like his contemporary Norman Rockwell, was best known for his numerous covers for the Saturday Evening Post. While Rockwell may be the more famous of the two (though I’d say not by much), I personally prefer Leyendecker’s work to Rockwell’s. He did several of the new year’s covers which always featured Baby New Year in some amusing vignette that frequently referenced events of the time. A few of these even broke from the tradition of portraying Baby New Year as a boy, and so these are apropos to this blog:
