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 Hampshire, is genuinely hard to find and sought after by collectors of her work.
