"Sitting Up With A Sick Friend" is a vintage Cassius Marcellus Coolidge print featured on a rare 1969 calendar salesman sample.  There are 11 Cassius Marcellus Coolidge (1844-1934) paintings of dogs sitting around a card table that have become part of American pop-culture and are instantly recognizable. 

The featured calendar is approximately 14" x 21.25" in overall size and 9.25" x 14" in image size.  It is in very good condition with one fold crease.  It is a salesman sample for the Brown & Bigelow company and the date pad only features April 1969.  Underneath the calendar pad is the complete 1969 calendar and a description of the painting.
