Happy 106th to Glacier National Park, established on May 11, 1910!
Featuring a scene set in Glacier National Park, this proof of a Saturday Evening Post cover was done by renowned western artist John Clymer in commemoration of the park’s 50th anniversary. Among 80 Saturday Evening Post covers to Clymer’s credit, this cover was published on July 30, 1960. Now part of the National Park Service records held by the National Archives at Denver, a note accompanying the proof concluded, “Please keep the enclosed proof to yourself until publication time.”
