Description: Up for bid is an original vintage pre-owned 1979 The Norman Rockwell Treasury, Boxed Gift Issue, Thomas S. Buechner. Rare find. Found at an estate sale. These were given out as gifts from a variety of businesses. This one was from Vermillion Enterprise Inc, Wichita, Kansas. Includes the original golden box. The jacket is Brown with The Title in gold lettering and embossed image of Norman Rockwell painting a self portrait in his studio. Also includes the original never been used "This book belongs to" label. This is the 1st edition hardback book published in 1979. Measures about 12” by 9” with 215 pages of works by Norman Rockwell. Includes a couple of fold out paintings. Book is in excellent condition and been well preserved in its box. Box does have some wear from use and storage. Norman Rockwell's works have always enchanted America with their clear-eyed and humorous picture of life in the country's heartland. This book includes the very best of them, from the Saturday Evening Post covers to The Four Freedoms, a series of paintings done during World War II. Every image still exudes its fresh charm, unsullied by sentimentality: Santa, napping as the elves scurry about him and finish Christmas preparations; Grandma placing a large Thanksgiving turkey on the table, surrounded by her smiling family; a mother, stepping out of a slightly run-down apartment building with arms joyfully outstretched to greet her son, newly returned from the war. From the deeply personal to the political-a black child being led to school by US Marshals in the early days of integration-every piece retains its fascination. Thomas S. Buechner, a distinguished former director of the Brooklyn Museum, examines Rockwell's style, technique, and development, placing him in perspective as an important force in 20th-century art. Please see pictures for more condition details or e-mail with any questions. Thank you for looking. Happy bidding!!!
