Norman Rockwell's unique genius lies in his ability to use shared experiences to jog our memories. In 'Christmas Dream' he sweeps us back through the years to a Christmas Eve when we, too, were determined to 'wait up for Santa' - and fell asleep instead. Christmas Dream was painted in 1923 for the Christmas issue of Literary Digest, a limited ed. Rockwell plate entitled "Christmas Dream" and the 1978 issue of the Christmas Collection. Approved by the Norman Rockwell Family Trust and crafted by Knowles China; limited edition permanently closed on December 31, 1978. Numbered and signed, 8" wide, excellent condition. Comes with box and certificate.
