Original black cloth; original unclipped dust jacket (few tiny spots of rubbing at extremes). FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY ROCKWELL TO PETER WHALEN, ?brother of my all?time favorite model?. Rockwell is of course referring to Mary Whalen, the young girl seen in many of Rockwell?s iconic illustrations. ?She was the best model I ever had, could look sad one minute, jolly the next, and raise her eyebrows until they almost jumped over her head? (photo caption from this book picturing Rockwell, Mary and her twin brother Peter on a bench together).
