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.

"Washington Sea Eagle": An Original Audubon Hand-colored Lithograph
By After John James Audubon
Located in Alamo, CA
This is an original John James Audubon hand-colored royal octavo lithograph entitled "Washington Sea Eagle", No. 3, Plate 13, from Audubon's "Birds of America". It was lithographed, printed and colored by J. T. Bowen and published in Philadelphia between 1856-1871. It depicts an adult male sea eagle perched on a rock.
This is an excerpt from Audubon's own description of this magnificent eagle, which includes how he came up with the name "Washington Sea Eagle":
"The name which I have chosen for this new species of Eagle, “The Bird of Washington,” may, by some, be considered as preposterous and unfit; but as it is indisputably the noblest bird of its genus that has yet been discovered in the United States, I trust I shall be allowed to honour it with the name of one yet nobler, who was the saviour of his country, and whose name will ever be dear, to it. To those who may be curious to know my reasons, I can only say, that, as the new world gave me birth and liberty, the great man who ensured its independence is next to my heart. He had a nobility of mind, and a generosity of soul, such as are seldom possessed. He was brave, so is the Eagle; like it, too, he was the terror of his foes; and his fame, extending from pole to pole, resembles the majestic soarings of the mightiest of the feathered tribe...

______
At an early age Delacroix became a lover of music and literature and had been drawing from the time he entered school. He expected painting would be a hobby, but on the death of his father he found he had to make his own way in life. In 1817 he entered the studio of Pierre-Narcisse Guerin; amongst his fellow pupils was Gericault. His first exhibited work was Dante and Virgil...
