The art on this cover is the Norman Rockwell painting "A Scout is Loyal". One of two paintings he did by that name. It's 8 1/2" x 10" and perfect for framing!
It's a notepad with a copyright date of 1933. Something like this may have been used by the troop's scribe. A position that came with a patch and patches are good. It only has one piece of paper which is unlined and a piece of cardboard on the back. A sturdy piece of cardboard making it easier for the scribe to scribe.
The painting was originally done in 1932. I am assuming that is George Washington in the background which is a theme in several Rockwell Scout paintings.
The second "Scout is Loyal" painting features two forefathers and shall be posted if I ever get o copy.
Beautiful art piece. Rockwell was an American legend in general, but he had a strong love and admiration for Scouting that really shows in this touching art.
Thank you very much Thomas. You have fine taste.
Thank you very much Toyrebel. He was back there in the beginning back in 1910.
