Up for sale is an original lithograph by Maud Tausey Fangel of a playing baby with special additions.

Wikipedia " For a good part of the first half of the twentieth century, Ms. Fangel was the children's artist in our country -- her illustrations of ruddy-cheeked, doe-eyed, curly-locked children were everywhere. They set the standard for their day .... Many of Ms. Fangel's pictures were done in pastels, which allowed her to capture the movements of her young subjects in swift, impressionistic strokes. Most of Ms. Fangel's models were children from poor families, from orphanages, and settlement houses. Unaware of this, one newspaper referred to these children as "glamor babies." But Ms. Fangel understood the youngsters who sat and wiggled and dozed in the high chair for her a little more deeply than the correspondent: "I have a strange, persistent feeling that babies have a consciousness that we do not possess," she wrote. "They seem not yet to have lost an intelligence brought with them from another world. They are still wrapped in the mystery of their source."
My mom took this wonderful print and added her artistic touch. retailer She made the satin pillow and added a lace edging. She also crocheted the baby sweater and baby booties and made the diaper and dress. She then decoupaged the print with her special additions. She made this to hang in my baby room in 1947. It looks like she reframed it at one point and eventually it landed in the cedar chest. I have it hanging in the bedroom now and It comes from a Tabaco Free Home.
