About the Item
Cover illustration of the April 30, 1949 issue of The Saturday Evening Post
Page 3 of the Post states:
When John Falter’s cover painting was accepted, there was lightening trickling down the sky beside the rainbow. Presently the Art Department began to worry- do lightning and rainbows ever show up at the same time? The ever helpful Weather Bureau was asked to look at the Post’s storm- which has just doused midtown New York and is rumbling away beyond Central Park’s man-made ramparts, “Fair and cooler,” was the comment. “But we never saw a streak of lightening in such bright daylight. Of course, where weather is concerned, anything can happen.” So the picture was delightninged, leaving only that sign of clearing weather, a patch of blue sky large enough to make a sailor a pair of breeches.
