Description
Three boxes that depict concepts of Christmas cards. In the first box it is a gathering of the animals outside, second box is just a quick sketch of a moose, and the third is the moose staring at what appears to be shelves that is storing unknown objects. Inside the fold: there is some writing done in a blue pencil that is not legible on the far right side. On top of it is a quick boxed off sketch of all the animals sitting in a library reading. To the left of this drawing there is a quick box sketched with a loose moose doodle on the inside, and another outside near the left edge. verso: Another quick boxed off sketch of the animals appearing to be on some surface in the air, with a mountain range below them. There appears to be something holding them up above the drawing from lines along the edge of support.
