Magnificent Victorian chromolithograph cover for TRUTH MAGAZINE, "Helping Grandpa" by Henry Mosler.
I post this tonight in memory of the four Americans who died in the attack on the U.S Embassy in Benghazi: Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, and especially for Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods -- both former Navy SEALS....Remembering the SEALS on the rooftop who held their ground and died protecting Americans under attack. For these four generous and courageous men, I hold high the flag.
This cover was published in 1900, within living memory of the Civil War. Atop the escutcheon that bears the magazine name and the image/artist identifications appears the phrase: "Our Choicest Possessions".
Much more beautiful in person. ‘Under glass’ photograph.

Thank you very much, Bellin and AR8Jason, for your kind appreciation and very kind comments!! : )
Oh, Bellin, wish you could see her in person. She is even more beautiful in person.
AR8Jason, I was most gratitifed to read your praise. I have given away many of my paintings and prints over the years, but this one I have kept. It has a special place in my heart. I have one other magazine cover that I plan to post. It is a replacement for the same cover that my grandfather had framed and hung over the telephone desk in his home - the old Norman Rockwell 1948 "Saturday Evening Post" "The Gossips"cover. Follows a link to same cover.

Ah, the above link is to a print based upon the artwork of the 1948 cover. Sorry. When I post mine, you'll see the cover. No doubt, AR8Jason, you will have seen it before. : )

I'm sorry, Inky. I'm a little discombobulated. I now get your meaning. Thank you very much for your very kind comments!!! These valiant men put themselves in harm's way to serve our country. One cannot honor them enough, but I wanted to make the gesture. I am glad that you agree and that the gesture appeared seemly.

Thank you very much, vetraio, for your very kind comments!!! I note that is often much safer for America to be bold and active for the truth with the valiant and tough Australians fighting alongside us! God bless those Aussies!!! : )
