He was also known for his brilliant illustrations in the Saturday Evening Post, which covered different scenarios of everyday life, a job he kept for a good long 50 years.
In addition to being an illustrator for over 40 different novels, including Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, Rockwell has created over 4000 works of art in his lifetime. While many were lost or destroyed, numerous remain in both public and private collections. These are some of the lesser-known paintings and illustrations by the ingenious artist.
