The color Red is a deeper and nicer color than the photos show. (Read "Condition" below, note that this piece does NOT lay flat-See Photos) Original artwork, Christmas or Religious Theme--Mid Century from the 1940s to the 1950s. Approx. 2 ft long, this is an actual paint on board item from the Thomson Symon Company, a major poster company started in the 1920's. This is an original piece of art that I believe was used to produce a blank "stock" poster- the poster would then be used as either a printer's or salesman's sample for the use of the poster as an advertisement. This is the artist's actual artwork used for those advertisements or posters. Produced or painted for the Thomson Symon Co. (Later would become Nat'l Poster Company). THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK USED FOR THE RESULTING POSTERS. Vintage piece of commercial art, unknown who the artist was. Approx. 24" x 11". Paint on board. Colors are great, deep Red background, with nicely done Angel and the Baby Jesus in the Manger. Thomson Symon Co., Design No. 794- "Peace".
-- "...and on Earth Peace among men- Luke 2:14.
