LEIGHTON, Clare. ~ Eight Christmas Cards all with original wood engravings, mostly signed.
London
37 Belsize Park Gardens
c. 1922-29
8 Christmas Cards each with a small wood engraving by Clare Leighton pasted onto the front, 6 of which are signed by the artist in pencil. 3 are on a single card, two with short Christmas inscriptions written and signed by Leighton in ink, 5 are 4pp greetings cards with printed greetings and Leighton’s address on the inside, 2 of which have handwritten notes, one with a signature.
The handwritten notes are often very personal. The message for 1928 states “I go to America on Sat 22nd for 2 or 3 months...” - the second is inscribed “to you and Jock. We’re both down with influenza at the moment & go to the cottage for Christmas to recuperate....I hope this is worthy of joining your little army of my prints...”
