Up for sale is my collection of Santa Fe, New Mexico Christmas cards from the early California impressionist painter Lucy Bacon's personal collection. Containing 33 primarily woodblock prints these charming personal notes capture a fantastic part of history of great friendship that existed within the New Mexico / California family of artists including Olive Rush, Gustave Baumann, Will Shuster, Josef Imhof, John Sloan, Williard Clark and more. Lucy was particularly close to Olive exchanging may works between them, one original watercolor that Olive gave to Lucy on her first Christmas spent in New Mexico in 1917 that I currently have available. In addition to having a close relationship with Olive, she was also close to Dorothy Newkirk Stewart of which 17 of these woodblocks were made by. The Albuquerque Museum holds her prints in their collection. All these rare original greeting cards are being sold separately and can be found available in my store, check them out or feel free to send me a message. These were just all removed from Lucy's old original portfolio and have not been seen in decades making this an exciting opportunity for any collector.

This fine little woodblock print by Dorothy Newkirk Stewart depicts a Native American woman holding a small baby on her lap while her kitten is leaning against her right leg for some attention. This sweet print is executed on an incredibly fine tissue like paper. Measuring 6 x 3 3/4 inches the print shows some discoloration and handling wear.

The images provided accurately represent the quality, condition and aesthetic beauty of this fine little Santa Fe, New Mexico Christmas card but if you have any questions please feel free to ask prior to purchasing!
