*This lot is accompanied by a letter from Atelier Ettinger Inc. explaining the limited edition (some of the text from that letter is blow). All three pieces come with a "Certificate of Assurance" from Austin Galleries, Dearborn, MI.
This set of three lithographs—Buttercup, Rivals, and School Walk—beautifully showcases Rockwell's gift for narrative and his remarkable sensitivity to childhood, family, and community. Printed in 1976 by Atelier Ettinger Inc. from Rockwell's original images created for the Brown & Bigelow Company, each ten-color lithograph was produced on fine papier d'Arches as part of a strictly limited edition. Accompanied by the original Atelier Ettinger letter and Certificates of Assurance from Austin Galleries, the portfolio bears the embossed seals of both Atelier Ettinger Inc. and Brown & Bigelow, underscoring its authenticity and collectible significance. Together, these three charming images represent an exceptional opportunity to acquire museum-quality editions after one of America's most celebrated illustrators.
