Folly Cove Designer Open House Invite Louise Kenyon's "Home Port" c.1952?:
$110.00

This card would have been sent to the Folly Cove Designer's mailing list I believe in 1952 (the dates match up) with the pattern "Home Port" having been released in 1949. This invitation invites the public to the designer's annual open house at the barn which was always highly attended. Crowds came from far and wide (area hotels advertised the sale) and police had to work to keep traffic moving on Route 127!
Black and white paper card measures 5.5 by 7 inches. Card is creased down the center for mailing but lies flat. Overall clean, extremely slight tearing to the back of the card and some corners aren't as pristine as the day they were printed. See photos for your best understanding of condition. It's unlikely, of all that were mailed to customers, that very many of these invitations survive today. **Final photo** features the wonderfully detailed and researched book, "Trailblazing Women Printmakers" by Elena M. Sarni which I highly recommend to anyone interested in knowing more about the Folly Cove Designers.
I have numerous invitations grouped and framed, they're a fantastic souvenir for a serious collector or admirer of the group.
