Grouping of thirteen (13) Christmas cards designed by the artist Athos Menaboni (Italy/Georgia, 1895-1990) for the Coca-Cola executive Robert W. Woodruff, includes the years 1963-1975. Each card represents a bird found at Robert W. Woodruff's Ichauway Plantation. 9" H x 6 1/4" W. Note: Every year, beginning in 1941 and through 1984, Menaboni painted a bird that could be found at Wooduff’s Georgia plantation, Ichauway, or his ranch in Wyoming. Woodruff had them lithographed on large cards he and his wife mailed to family and friends, wishing them a “Merry Christmas.” (Source: https://trouphistory.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/amchristmas)
