Maud Lewis Vintage Note Card From 1984

Description: "Hauling Christmas Tree" Up for sale is a vintage 1984 Maud Lewis 5x4in card. This is a small card that folds open like a Christmas card, dated 1984 by Bill Ferguson on the back. These are very rare cards and are part of my personal collection of Maud Lewis items. Bill Ferguson owned the Copyrights to Maud's images from 1962-1995 and use to sell these at his gallery in Halifax back in the 1980's as well as other Maud Lewis items. BACKGROUND ON BILL FERGUSON: William Ferguson was co-owner of Ten Mile House Gallery in Bedford, Nova Scotia, and a pioneer promoter of Maud Lewis's works during the 1960's. In the early 60's, Ferguson obtained the rights from Maud so that he could produce prints of her paintings, and provided Maud with royalties on the sale of those prints. It was his hope that the additional income would lend a higher degree of security to Maud and Everett's way of life. By 1965, Maud couldn't keep up with the demand for her paintings. Ferguson's high quality hand cut silk screen prints were a fine alternative. The prints were produced and sold for the next 30 years and have become collectible in their own right. Interestingly, there was a documentary on Maud done by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1965 and Bill Ferguson is featured in that documentary discussing his reasoning behind the production of these prints.They are better than any modern Maud Lewis prints currently available anywhere. Will be shipped out next business day. This is for 1 card. You can also view these on my website MaudPrints.ca
