Gift Greeting, Christmas: Christmas Songs, Good King Wenceslas (TK)Description
A five-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting a scene from the first verse of the traditional 1953 Christmas carol, Good King Wenceslas:
Good King Wenceslas looked out,
On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even,
Brightly shone the moon that night,
Tho the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
Gathering winter fuel.
This print is a variation on a portion of a Country Prints towel/wallhanging/runner featuring the lyrics of twelve Christmas carols; see images.
This is a Country Prints Gift Greeting, a line of unmounted art prints in cardstock note folders with envelopes for mailing or gift giving.Made/Created
