Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Kellogg’s Corn Flakes cereal. The ad has a drawing of a young boy, done by Norman Rockwell, with a face full of freckles bring a spoonful of cereal to his mouth. It shows the picture on the box of cereal and a larger drawing of the same picture. The text says “Norman Rockwell, who considered himself something of a specialist on freckles, has caught somebody here with a whole trail of them right across the nose. But what we really want you to notice is what this freckled young man is doing. He’s going through a motion that’s over 50 years old. He’s loading in the Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. Observe, if you will, that light in the eyes, that purposeful grip of the hand. This is characteristic when these delicate, golden flakes are in the spoon and on the way up”.
