1930’s Calendars…

My father gave these 1930’s calendars to me a few years ago for Christmas.  It means a lot coming from him that he was willing to part with something like these that he purchased many years ago. I don’t have art work in my home but I have collected a few old prints from Zulu Kenyon and Edwardo Cubane.  Which similarly consist of little vintage girls.  These prints are from  collection called the Bluebird series by Adeleide Hiebel.  I've seen many many prints like these in antique stores, but have been washed out by the sunshine by years of displaying in unprotected glass, cut down to fit the size a frame losing the original edges, or they have been matted (which ruins any vintage print).
What makes these prints extra special is that they are still in tact with the original full 1930’s January – December calendars that are attached by a string tied at the top of each print.  They have been in storage for what looks like years. 

 

I plan to frame these with museum glass for my Guest Suite I am working on and finally will be able to display them in my home!  This is very exciting to be able to display a true vintage treasure instead of hiding it in the dark drawer!
