This 1930 Christmas card, created by an unknown artist, features an image of the Virgin Mary and Child in a blue print. The Virgin Mary stands on a building with a halo of clouds and is surrounded by angels, while the Child sits on her lap. This card was sent from Jean and Dorothy Charlot to an unknown recipient, likely a friend or family member, as the back of the card features personal annotations and a list of prints the recipient should receive. The card, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a unique glimpse into the personal lives of the Charlots, who were prominent artists and designers in their day.
