Christmas Card with Image of Norman Rockwell's "The Christmas Dance," 1950
Add to SetSummary
Hallmark Cards, Inc. commissioned Norman Rockwell to produce a series of Christmas cards from 1946 to 1957. The sentimental imagery depicted scenes of an idealized Christmas. Here, a man plays a tune on a cello while a young girl--perhaps his daughter--dances with her pet dog. In the corners, mice cavort and provide accompaniment--adding to the holiday merriment.
