This limited edition offset print is an image rendered by Norman Rockwell entitled Friend in Need for the Boys Scouts of America. The print depicting a scout helping a sick dog was used for the Boy Scouts of America 1947 calendar illustration. The print has rich vibrant colors with a white border in excellent condition and has not been conserved. One of the many outstanding features of this print is in Norman Rockwell's eye for detail that engages the viewer. The print measures 14 X 11 inches and is hand signed by Norman Rockwell at the bottom in permanent marker.

In 1924, Rockwell began painting what would become a half-century of calendar images for the Boys Scouts of America. Each of these featured a scouting-themed painting using models from his successive home towns of New Rochelle, New York, Arlington, Vermont, and Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The yearly calendar was published by Brown & Bigelow, one of the nation's largest calendar publishers, today the Boys Scouts of America own a sizable portion of the fifty-two calendar scenes which Rockwell painted.
