A rare treat for a Charlot Byj admirer or greeting card collector, and a meaningful gift for anyone who loves gilded, vintage religious art.

Charlot Byj (1920–1983) was an American illustrator whose greeting card and advertising art of the 1940s later inspired a beloved line of Goebel figurines. This soft-colored angel card, signed by Byj and printed on fine linen paper by Coronation, completes a trio of her rare angel designs and is genuinely hard to come by.
