Catalogue Note
Norman Rockwell was commissioned to illustrate the Brown & Bigelow Four Seasons Calendars from 1948 through 1964. Each year, the calendar had one central theme for which four separate illustrations were made for each season. Rockwell's 1960 series told the story of a young redheaded boy who was apprenticing for an older shopkeeper.
