Rendered on 11x15 board, it is signed and dated 1953 on the back (with her student number and address) and matted in a 16x20 mat for ease of framing. A real midcentury timepiece, this is one of several Crist pieces we are currenting selling, but the only one featuring a paste-up of actual ad copy, which we love: "Tissue-sheers... by the dozens!' and "Disciplined lawns". Imagine the chaos of the lawns were undiscliplined, after all! less
