Gift Greeting, Christmas: 12 Days of Christmas 366

Description

A Gift Greeting set of twelve five-color silkscreen prints on natural linen depicting a scene for each verse of the traditional Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Likely first produced in the mid-to-late-1950’s, this set is listed on the Christmas 1960 Country Prints price list. Each set came with a silkscreen printed folder bearing the words and music to the song, and an envelope for gift giving or mailing. An identical cocktail napkin set was also produced. The edges of the cocktail napkins are straight stitched and fringed. The edges of the Gift Greetings are fringed only. This set is a sales sample used by Country Prints.
