ITEM DESCRIPTION:

This unusual self framed cardboard advertising sign dates from the 1920's or 1930's and is based on the famous 1907 painting by L. C. Earle, The Dutch Boy Painter. It is the well known image of the little boy in his wooden shoes and overalls, sitting on a ledge with a bucket of paint and a brush. It has been the symbol of White Lead Paint Co. for a century. The image has had several variations over the years, this one is the original. This sign has a folded cardboard frame decorated in gold and has tabs on the back for hanging or placing on an easel. It is in good condition with edge wear on the frame and some blistering on the surface. We have added a black frame for protection of the self framed piece. 1920's - 1930's 8124-WUT
