About the Item
This is a rare Franklin Simon Department store Christmas lithographic poster with an image after a James Thurber cartoon drawing of a man in a chair with his dog at his feet. The drawing was done in Thurber's typical minimalist style of cartoons. It depicts an image of a seated man leaning over his dog who has his head in the man's lap communicating a feel good image of complete love between the two. Thurber's signature "Th." is present in the plate below the man's chair. The inscription reads: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen let nothing dismay you today. Just have a merry and marvelous Christmas and the happiest of New Years. Franklin Simon"
The lithograph is printed on a tan paper and is presented in a black wood frame with a light grey mat. There is a horizontal fold in the upper third and mild wrinkling in the corners. There are small frame abrasions and scratches.
James Thurber (1894-1961) was an American cartoonist, journalist, author, humorist, and playwright. Many of his cartoons and short stories were published in the New Yorker magazine. Movies such as "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and the "Catbird Seat" were based on his creations. The Thurber Prize for American humor was established in his name in 1997.
The Franklin Simon department store was based in New York and focused on women's fashions, but also sold boys, girls and infant apparel. There were 42 stores when it closed in 1979.
