So Now You Know
You might note that the iconic signature is missing from that first Rockwell cover. To this date, Boy's Life covers were not signed by the artist. Rockwell signed his first cover illustration the next month with October 1913's edition.
His previous work for Boy's Life, article illustrations, had always been signed. He used the early "Norman P Rockwell" signature in those illustrations. He later dropped the "P" since he didn't like his middle name, Percevel.
