The Calendar, which has a mat over the lithograph underneath holds the 1919 calendar at the bottom and covers the original lithograph which could easily be removed for framing. The Lithograph measures about 9 1/2" T X 5" W.

At the bottom, under the Oval Matt that covers the Lithograph reads:

NOTE: I do not believe this piece was ever displayed as it has no fading 2024 or sun shading which is often found on these types of calendars that were hung on a wall. The colors are crisp, vivid and clear.

Brief Background Artist : Zula Kenyon was an illustrator and studied under Frederick Freer at the Art Institute in Chicago. Although she completed some early work for various companies, she began doing artwork for the Gerlach Barklow Calendar Company of Joliet Illinois shortly after it was founded in 1907.

However, in those days calendar company customers were reluctant to purchase images created by a women, and the company asked her to only sign her early work "Kenyon". The lithograph attached to this calendar is signed by the artist on the lower left hand side with a copy right stamped on the lower right hand side of the painting.

Measurements: Calendar 15" T X 8" W - Lithograph Measures abt 9 1/2" X 5" W

Condition: Excellent, no folds, no rips, tears or damage to the original paper, there are some very and I mean very tiny age spots over the embossed calendar at the bottom. Very Clean And Bright, a True Treasure. Difficult if not impossible to see with the naked eye. I added a blown up photo for your review. Please review all photos as they are part of the description.
