Rockwell's Cedar Rapids study frames Junius Wimple
Norman Rockwell chose Cedar Rapids Iowa to ground his Post cover on Junius Wimple a small wary man in rubbers carrying an umbrella. The scene shows him voting weighing Roosevelt and Dewey with The Gazette in hand as three people ahead vote and the finale finds him amid confetti beaming at a win. The Post also features Rockwell wired outlines and Bernstorf the Cedar Rapids model who recalls posing while his wife and children react and sharing a light take on the mural like portrait.
