The Clock Mender

When we visited Chicago in May, we were wandering around Marshall Field’s (I’ll call it what I want to!), and discovered that there was something of a small museum on one of the upper floors. Among the displays, there was a three-dimensional representation of Norman Rockwell’s “The Clock Mender,” from the November 3, 1945 cover of the Saturday Evening Post, which featured the famous bronze clocks on the outside of the building. When we visited the Chicago History Museum a few days later, we saw the actual print…I think it’s really fun to compare them side-by-side!
