Print, Christmas: Stocking 705

Description

A colorful silkscreen print on a white wool and cotton sock, size 12. A number of childrens’ toys are illustrated: a block, a horn, Noah’s Ark, a toy soldier, a train engine, a ball, a wheeled hobby horse, a dollhouse, and a doll. A die cut silkscreen printed hanger label shaped like an elf pops out the top of the stocking. The design is in keeping with two children’s wallhangings produced by Country Prints in the late 1950’s. This Christmas stocking appears in the 1964 brochure “Fall and Christmas, Robert Darr Wert/Country Prints”.
