This lot features three framed Life magazine covers illustrated by Norman Rockwell, focusing on themes of military service and holiday tradition. The collection includes "If Mother Could Only See Me Now" (June 1918) showing a soldier peeling potatoes with his dog; "Ye Glutton" (November 1923) for the Thanksgiving Number, depicting a pilgrim in stocks; and "A Pilgrim's Progress" (November 1921) featuring a young pilgrim fleeing with a turkey. These illustrations highlight Rockwell's transition from WWI-era narrative art to the more stylized, humorous Americana of the early 1920s.
