Norman Rockwell: Artist and Illustrator by Christopher Finch

This is a large-format coffee table book titled 'Norman Rockwell: Artist and Illustrator,' written by Christopher Finch and published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. The dust jacket features one of Rockwell's most iconic works, 'Triple Self-Portrait' (1960), which depicts the artist at his easel. The jacket has a white background with the title text in a stylized pink serif font for 'Norman Rockwell' and black sans-serif for 'Artist and Illustrator.' The Abrams publisher logo is visible in the bottom left corner. This specific edition is a significant retrospective, likely from the early 1970s (first published 1970). Physically, the book appears to be a hardcover with a dust jacket, exhibiting minor wear around the edges of the jacket, including slight yellowing consistent with age. There are no major tears or stains visible on the front cover, suggesting a well-maintained condition. The book is known for its high-quality color plates and comprehensive overview of Rockwell's career, from his Saturday Evening Post covers to his more social-realist later works. Inside, the craftsmanship typically involves heavy-stock paper and sewn binding, characteristic of Abrams art books of this era.
