3003

1906 "A Christmas Belle" by Arthur Calendar top or poster. This is a superb image by an artist who was as good as Harrison Fisher or Howard Chandler Christy or better. I am not sure how the calendar was attached or if there was one. Some slight damage to bottom and top edges, but not bad. I would judge this piece as in very good condition for its age. Almost 14" tall and 11" wide. A wonderful work art that would look great in any living room. Very suitable for framing.

3027

Late 1800's - Early 1900's Lithographed and Embossed Baby Calendar. This baby has one of the most intriguing faces I have ever seen. He has blue eyes and red ribbos and he is resting on a purple pillow with lace edging. Calendar sheet used to be attached in bottom left corner, staples are still there. Does have quite a bit of damage to the edges, some old stains, and a small tear near the baby's right shoulder. From a grocer in La Harpe, Illinois. Almost 16' by 11". This is quite a find in spite of the damage. You could restore some, matte it ,and frame it.
