Merry Christmas Madeleine and Hugh Franklin - Two Original Cards
[New York]: [1946]. 8" x 10.5". Printed on fine paper in black ink, some toning and smudging, minimal wear to edges, very good.
A Christmas tradition in the Madeleine and Hugh Franklin family from 1946-1963, was to create Christmas cards with original art drawn by L'Engle, that were then hand-colored and sent to friends and family.
This is the first in the series from 1946 as they were married in January of that year. The couple's daughter, Josephine, was born in 1947, so this image would be the only one of just Madeleine, Hugh, and their dog, Touché. A wonderfully warm and nostalgic piece not often seen. Item #3851
