Episode 359: Feast and Frenzy

11/29/2015

 
Picture
Back in 1943, in the midst of World War 2, Norman Rockwell painted the quintessential thanksgiving illustration of a family Thanksgiving Dinner. It appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. Almost everyone has seen it. It has a name, "Freedom from Want".

​Here's is a link to it in case you’d like to see it again. The painting wasn’t popular in Europe where the shortages and horrors of war were most severe, but there is a good story on the linked website.
