Type of Work

A family Christmas card designed by James Edward Petran in 1962.  It has an illustration of the Three Wise Men and Jesus in the manger. The inside has the King James Version Matthew 2:2 with the Star of Bethlehem illustrated. 

He did the art and typography in yellow and dark green ink, by hand and then printed the copies in half tone (this is one of those printed copies) on light green construction paper folded into fourths to make a card.
