Cover Art: The Time Collection at the National Portrait Gallery

The portraits displayed in this site represent the compelling variety of personalities and art that have distinguished Time covers for more than three-quarters of a century. Heroes and rogues, queens and presidents, popes and pop stars, singers and athletes—all have been ensconced, in one form or fashion, within Time’s trademark red border.
