Franklin Picture Co. for JCPenney, c. 1960s–1970s Description Large vintage wildlife print depicting two blue jays in a snowy winter landscape, one in flight and one perched at the water’s edge. The scene is rendered with careful attention to feather detail and reflection, creating a calm, classic nature composition well suited to traditional, lodge, farmhouse, or Americana interiors. This piece is professionally framed with a wide mat and wood frame, giving it strong wall presence. The reverse retains the original distribution label from JCPenney, supplied by Franklin Picture Co., confirming its mid-century retail origin. Artist The print bears a visible artist signature in the image; however, it appears to be reproduced from an original watercolor or illustration rather than an original painting. The artist is not definitively identified, which is consistent with many quality mid-century decorative wildlife prints produced for national retailers during this period.
