8-1/8" plate with 23K gold etched border. Each numbered plate is limited to 25,000 worldwide. With his face buried in the morning paper, the gentleman in the August 23, 1939, cover is playing with very volatile material. Any momeent his temporarily abandoned wife is going to explode and when she does, this situation probably won't happen again -- for at least a week. This cover needs no explanation. With Rockwell's marital situation on solid ground, he could poke fun at one of the reasons that lovers spats occurred. Instead of getting the underlying message, most people looked at the cover and laughed, continuing on with their bad habits. Rockwell visited the breakfast table again on October 30, 1948, when another family altercation occurred over a presidential election.
