Bon Weekend!

A classic cover from Better Homes & Gardens, September 1958 issue. The illustration is by the famous Jan Balet, who is better known for his illustrations of childrens books, and for his work as art director of Mademoiselle magazine in the 1940s. I just love how these homes are idealized here - its a perfect Mid-Century American dream of suburbia without all of its taint. An idyllic moment with perfectly rounded trees...
