Born on February 3, 1894 in NYC.
When he was a boy his father would read aloud books such
as Oliver Twist and David Copperfield. Norman would draw the

He started attending art classeswhen he was only 14.
In 1913, when he was only 19, Norman Rockwell became the art editor for Boys’ Life, a magazine published by the Boy Scouts of America.
Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine for more than 40 years.
