November 8, 1947. 8-1/8" plate with 23K gold etched border. Each numbered plate is limited to 25,000 worldwide. The reader can feel nothing but sympathy for this child-afflicted babysitter. The young lady intended to get a full night of homework in on the job. But the best-laid plans of mice, men, and babysitters are soon to go away. No matter what she does, no matter how hard she tries, no matter what the book on babysitting says, no matter how many times she walks with the baby slung over her shoulder, this little fellow refuses to give his lungs a rest. That look of dogged determination on the babysitter's face indicates to us that she is going to continue to search for the solution to quiet down this lovable little monster. Here we see Norman Rockwell's love for details and his magnificent ability to capture them. The furry look of the litle tedddy bear, the wind-up clock on the floor, the half-finished baby bottle, the design on the slipcovers, the wallpaper, all show Rockwell's desire to make the setting as interesting as the overall subject.
