![]() Christmas Band by Helen Moore Sewell, 1896-1947, NY
item # 995521E
It is mixed media on paper; and it is unsigned. This is a charming illustration that depicts a gay brass band performing in a snow-covered city square under a bright full moon.
It is matted and framed under glass; the mat is inscribed "Helen Moore Sewell/1896 - 1957". Helen Moore Sewell is perhaps most well-known for her Little House on the Prairie illustrations, however she lent her talents to a large number of children's books, including twelve she wrote and illustrated. Her illustrations for The Thanksgiving Story were among those chosen as a Caldecott Honor Book in 1955. SS 11.5"h x 14.75"w; DOA 24"h x 26.25"w
