Product Description
Welcome Spring!

O Spare The Blossoms!
O honorable slave boys
Of the Lord Chamberlain,
If you've hearts, I pray
Spare your morning brooms this spring,
Don't sweep those fallen petals away.

-Minamoto no Kintada (about 900 A.D.)

What a delightful vintage find. This original 7" x 9.75" lithograph print from 1946 is absolutely perfect; flat and smooth... without dings or bumps. The paper is a lovely crisp quality too... finished with a soft and subtle sheen with very little tanning.

This sweet vintage children's lithograph is printed on the reverse as well, but the paper is nice and thick and doesn't show through. This little charmer would be just lovely matted and framed in your little one's nursery.

(We should all look this fabulous at 64 years old.)

'O Spare The Blossoms' will arrive safely at your place via those lovely folks at the USPS cradled in a rigid mailer to protect it along the bumpy journey from my place to yours.

Surrender Dorothy. Classic Antique Prints and Illustrations for your home.
Always something a little bit different.
