    Description

    N C Wyeth created this very rare and original advertisement for Cream of Wheat, of a cowboy picking up his box of Cream of Wheat at a rural Cream of Wheat mail box, first appeared in the Collier's issue of February 2, 1907.  This is Wyeth's most important advertising image, an ad image appearing for many years in many publications.  Wyeth had been actively making a name for himself as an illustrator of stories of the west in popular magazines of the day.  Cream of Wheat, as a very popular breakfast cereal of the time, was a major weekly advertiser in both Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post.  The importance that Cream of Wheat gave to Wyeth's advertising image is seen by Cream of Wheat having this ad printed as a full color full page ad, an expensive printing job for the time.  This listed ad was the first time this ad was published.  This ad would be an a nice addition for
    a  Wyeth and or Cream of Wheat ad collector.  This ad's dimensions are 10.75" x 15.125".  This ad would look wonderful framed.
    The ad is protected in an archival print sleeve, protected by stiff shipping materials and will be shipped using USPS First Class Mail.
