Baby in Tree - Baby Greeting Card

INSIDE GREETING: Babies are the sweetest flowers in the world. This endearing depiction of a baby surrounded by gentle animal companions graces the cover of Maud & Miska Petersham's 1948 book, My Very First Book, one of several titles they both authored and illustrated. Their work was notably influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement in America, a style that found a natural home as they resided next to the Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts Colony in Woodstock, New York, which still operates today! The artistic synergy with the colony is apparent in their art. See all our New Baby greeting cards! Maud Fuller Petersham (1890–1971) and her husband, Miska Petersham (1888–1960), were a prolific and influential artistic duo in the realm of American children's literature. Maud, born in Rockport, Massachusetts, and Miska, hailing from Hungary, both brought diverse cultural backgrounds to their collaborative work. They met in New York City and married in 1917, forming a lifelong partnership bot
