Original 1939 Saturday Evening Post Newsstand Poster. Archival linen-backed and in A- condition, ready to frame.
This exceptional original 1939 Saturday Evening Post newsstand poster captures the essence of American life during the Golden Age of Illustration. Unlike standard magazine covers, these larger-format posters were produced specifically for newsstand displays to entice passersby with the week's featured artwork.
Featuring the iconic masthead of The Saturday Evening Post, this poster is a prime example of mid-century commercial art. During this era, the Post was the premier showcase for America's greatest illustrators, such as Norman Rockwell and Frances Tipton Hunter.
The 1939 editions are especially sought after by collectors for their nostalgic subject matter and vibrant color palettes. This 21.75 x 28-inch format was designed for high visibility, making it a substantial statement piece for any interior. Its professional linen backing keeps the paper flat and protected, making it ready for high-end custom framing.
While millions of magazines were printed, far fewer newsstand posters were produced, and even fewer survived the decades. They represent a unique intersection of advertising history and fine illustrative art, offering a larger, more impactful presentation than a standard magazine tear-sheet. This is a large-format original 1939 newsstand poster, not the smaller magazine cover.
The artist behind the original September 16, 1939, Saturday Evening Post cover is Frances Tipton Hunter. Hunter was among the magazine's most celebrated illustrators, contributing 18 covers over her career. Her work is often compared to Norman Rockwell's for its warm, sentimental, and humorous depictions of American childhood and "slice of life" Americana.
