Our Family Tradition - Now It Can Be Yours, Too!
I would love for you and your family to be able to enjoy this poster
as my family has for many years. Please see below for details on how to get yours.
a bit of art that reminded him of home. The poster, a Swedish Christmas decoration, was a gift from our Swedish relatives. My father, who was born in 1928, tells me this poster decorated the walls of his home every year at
Christmas for as long as he can remember.
Though it was carefully stored each year, over time the poster began to show its age: creased, torn, taped and re-taped, holes poked through in the corners from pushpins. I decided that this piece of my family's history should not (literally) fade away, but instead be thoughtfully restored. Last year I spent many hours (I would rather not say how many) in front of my computer restoring the poster, digitally undoing the creases, tears and pinholes.
At first, my intention was to create prints for myself and my siblings, who like our father, grew up enjoying this picture every Christmas. I have decided to make our family tradition available to everyone. The print is large at about 3 feet wide, and will make a terrific addition to your decorations at Christmas (or anytime!) It will fit in a standard 11.75” x 36” poster frame, which can be found most everywhere.
Sincerely,
Steven Michelsen
