Description

A two-color silkscreen print on off-white linen mounted within a matted single-fold greeting card of red cardstock accented with silver flecks. Superimposed over the silhouette of an angel, the print features a paraphrasing of Luke 2:10 from the King James Bible, “Fear not for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy.” Affixed to the inside face of the card with glue along the top edge, the linen print hangs freely within the card.
