Catalogue Note
In the 1930s, Rockwell created five calendar illustrations for the Coca-Cola Company which were also used as magazine ads. The ad agency which handled the Coca-Cola account at the time was Snyder and Black. The present work is a study for the company's 1935 calendar and was used as an advertisement.
