SCOTT #2840 NORMAN ROCKWELL SOUVENIR SHEET 50 CENT

            PRINTING IMPROVEMENTS MADE THE ROCKWELL SHEET POSSIBLE
A triple self portrait and four freedoms reflect the technological improvements in off-set printing that allowed the reduction of Rockwell's 44"x 48" paintings to tiny 1" x 1 1/2" stamps, with little loss of the detail for which he was famous . Rockwell's paintings of ordinary folks were filled with gentle humor and respect for humanity's basic values.
