Catalogue Note
The image seen here was used as a cover for a 1967 Top Value Stamps gift catalogue. Top Value Enterprises commissioned Rockwell in the 1960s to create several covers. Rockwell chose the Priestleys as models for this particular cover. Mr. Priestley was the executive at the company who engaged him for this project.
