A candy bar on one side, a piece of American illustration on the other.  This remarkable double-sided page from American Boy magazine pairs a full-color 1928 Baby Ruth advertisement — children sharing a bar under the tagline "Good Fun Good Food!" — with the actual June 1928 magazine cover, a western-themed painting by Lawrence N. Wilbur, a celebrated illustrator whose work hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Library of Congress. Two collectibles in one, connected by the same golden era of American print culture.

Note: the magazine cover retains its original mailing label, which can be steamed off or trimmed below without affecting the artwork.
