DESCRIPTION OF EASTER CARDS
Card No. 1. Size 16×22 inches. Fancy cut-out, heavy purple mat cardboard. Card was beveled and makes a very pretty design for Easter. The lettering was done with the No. 12 brush, using white ink. The word “Hats” was outlined with lavender. The words “Easter Parade” were cross-striped, as shown, with gold ink although this appears as almost white in the reproduction.
The price cards shown in the reproduction were lettered on purple cardboard. The first price ticket was white, shaded in light green with the air brush. The next card was lettered in white and shaded with lavender. The third card was lettered in lavender and outlined with white. The border of the card was air-brushed with green ink and then striped with white. The last card shown was lettered with yellow on purple cardboard shaded with light red.
Card No. 2. Size 16×22 inches. The original of this card was very beautiful. The center panel in the reproduction does not give the clear detail of the quality of stock used. The background of the original was heavy purple mat board and the center panel was of grain finished cover stock tinted with purple. The center panel in the original gave the appearance of a piece of white kid stretched over the surface of the mat. The edges of the lettered panel were heavily air-brushed in black ink. The lettering was done with small size model “C” speed ball pen.
Such cards add much to the attractiveness of any window display and students should procure samples of this paper stock from some source and note its beautiful finish.
If work is being done in class—such examples should be exhibited to the students.
