This Maxfield Parrish print seem to be in very good condition as there's no water damage, fading or staining. The frame, which I believe is original to the piece measures 11 1/2 x 19 1/2. Can anyone put a rough date to it and tell me when these were popular and any other info you might have? It was found stored in a dresser drawer so it's been out of sunlight for quite some time in my great grandmother's old farmhouse. Thanks in advance.
Yes it is "Daybreak", first printed in 1923 by the "House of Art" print co. It came in three sizes, yours being the medium size. It is said by the 1930's, three out of five homes in the U.S. had a "Parish" print hanging in it.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what made Maxfield Parrish was so popular? It seem very "mystic" to me.
