J.C. Leyendecker
1933 Baby New Year Charting
Cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, December 13, 1932
J.C. Leyendecker's most iconic images, created for The Saturday Evening Post from 1903 to 1943, were his New Year's babies -- chubby infants who looked ahead to the joys and challenges of the coming year. These symbolic figures were an annual tradition for Americans, who anticipated each new baby's arrival. |
