Original – The cover of Popular Science painted by Norman Rockwell showing an inventor and his Perpetual Motion machine.

Reason: Sadly, I can not find a Boy Scout painting by Rockwell that is PD and of a High Quality. I did find this gem. It looks good and is in the style of all early - Mid 1900s magazine covers.

Comment. It looks like the cover has been imperfectly scanned - the date and price are partly cutoff at the top which is unlikely to have been how it was made, and there's black borders on the sides and bottom that are unlikely to be part of the original cover. I do like it as a cover pic though. --jjron (talk) 10:00, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That is what the google books scan looks like. I can't find another source to fix the scan --Guerillero | My Talk 17:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  Other scans do include it though... Nik thestoned 09:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  But none of size. I wonder If there is a collection near me who has a copy and the equipment to make a scan. *goes off to look* --Guerillero | My Talk 16:26, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per jjron's comments regarding the scan. Would also need some slight restoration. I love the subject itself however. Jujutacular (talk) 13:39, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
