Lot 62
Rockwell, Norman (1894-1978) American illustrator and artist. Original Test Print of John F. Kennedy Signed "Norman Rockwell," 19½"x15", n.p., n.d. Matted and framed to an overall size of 22"x18". Excellent condition. This is the test print Rockwell made for an edition of 2500 prints, published in 1976 by American Heritage Graphics, Los Angeles, California. Rockwell signed in the lower border. The head-and-shoulders portrait of Kennedy is accompanied by the original dryography plate from which the print was pulled. As the vast majority of printing plates are held by the Curtis Publishing Company, only a few dryography plates have ever reached the market. There is a dent in the plate at the top of JFK's head, and the plate has been scored with an "X" to discontinue the print run; it is housed in a 23½"x19½"frame, from which the glass has been removed. Two unique items with the dual association of Norman Rockwell and John F. Kennedy.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
