    Description

    Beautiful Asian-inspired original calendar for November 1899 from the P C Darrow Typographers on Dearborn St, Chicago. Apparently an advertising promotion for the company. Oversized lithograph, 10 1/2 x 6" on thick cardstock, with stunning art of a man and woman courting in a garden. With original hole at top for mounting on wall.
    Art is signed with a Japanese logotype signature and is reminiscent of early work by W W Denslow, Wizard of Oz illustrator who did an elaborate Easter card for P C Darrow. In very good condition with light wear and age toning.  A rare and desirable early advertising collectible. Also see the June calendar I'm listing from the same company.
