This Week’s Cover
- John Atherton’s cover painting of Continental Ore family album of American regions. This time he moved north, to the Paul Bunyan country, and thousands will need to be told that the cover is a view of the husky city of Duluth. This is the ship canal, through which ore boats move out to begin their travels in the Great Lakes. The ore, of course, comes from the great Mesabi Range. Atherton chose a moment when the bridge had lifted to let one of ore boats below. The trip to Duluth is one that he hoped for many years to make; he remembered being there as a boy of six, when his father impressed him. Not by Duluth’s busy role in American industry, however, but with its excellent facilities for sledding.
