One of the aspects I most enjoy about this particular, well-rendered Dennison invitation is the sense of humor the designer imparted. Contrast it with the more somber, similarly-themed invitation Dennison produced in 1916. (You can see the latter on page 261.) If this seller says it is “dead-mint,” it is. She is wonderful. Given how prices for small paper have become unhinged these last 12 months, it’ll be interesting to see if this breaks the record for this piece set at my May 2017 auction when the book example sold for $311.
