EXTREMELY RARE, ORIGINAL GREETING CARD ART. An original, 1960s gouache painting by artist Fran Ju as part of her portfolio of commercial greeting card designs. This piece features two friends -- a squirrel and baby chick -- gathering flowers in Spring.

A unique, one-of-a-kind gift for vintage greeting card art collectors, or for those interested in the world of Mid-Century commercial art. Also great for a vintage baby shower - framed, it would be awesome in a nursery.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION
We have been fortunate to acquire a stunning collection of ORIGINAL watercolor and gouache paintings from the estate of artist Shu Dick Ju and Frances Ju. Mr. Ju was a fine watercolor artist. His work is well known and loved in the New England area, celebrated in the Ju collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, MA. In addition, he was a prolific commercial artist, producing many pieces for greeting card companies including Rust Craft Greeting Cards based in Dedham, MA, the largest greeting card manufacturer in the country in the 1950s/60s. It appears Frances Ju was also a commercial artist as some of the pieces are signed "Fran Ju."

We present the work as the artist created it on artist board with the original masking, crop marks and project information along the outside borders. Those industrial markings were used by the printer to transfer this original artwork to the printing press. 

The piece could be mounted and framed as is or matted to present the work as a finished piece of art.

Good for a quick backdrop
This works well for what I needed – a simple background for my kids’ online school. It’s lightweight and very easy to put together, and it stands up fine without needing to mount anything. The color is listed as black, but it’s more of a dark gray in person. Not a huge deal, just something to be aware of. It’s not super heavy duty, but it does the job for privacy and as a video backdrop. Overall, a good, portable divider that’s quick to set up and works well for light use.

Hard to assemble
Color: Grey
This is extremely hard to put together, but once its together it is pretty good. You will need to secure it to something. It falls over.
