Church, Frederick Stuart

Price: $3,600.00

Description: The arrival of Christmas

Comment: Of course by definition, original artwork is essentially one of a kind… in this particular case, the reproduction is nearly as rare. This artwork was reproduced as a special wrapper for the magazine… the type of thing one would have to remove to get to the magazine itself. I tried and tried to find one online and couldn’t… BUT, I know such a thing existed because a client who knows a lot about such things has one… or at least knows of one.

Price: $3,600 (includes domestic shipping)
