Produced during the peak of “kitsch” character design, it features a whimsical teal blue mouse emerging from a book, with bold graphic outlines indicative to the era’s print design language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition reflects the mid-century shift toward simplified, character-driven imagery, with teal and mustard color blocking and black woodcut-style linework. These design choices were widely used in American greeting cards of the 1960s, emphasizing clarity, charm, and instant visual appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card is shaped as a three-dimensional die-cut book, with the character integrated into the physical structure of the design. The mouse peeks over the top edge of the “book,” adding depth and personality to the piece while reinforcing its hospitality theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eText\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront Text:\u003cbr\u003eWhen it Comes to the Art of Hospitality\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside Text:\u003cbr\u003eBlank\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOccasion: Thank You\u003cbr\u003eRecipient: Host, Hostess\u003cbr\u003eEra: Late 1960s\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Mid-Century Kitsch \/ Die-Cut Character Card\u003cbr\u003eTheme: Hospitality \/ Whimsical Mouse Illustration\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Brand: Rust Craft (Boston \/ Dedham, MA)\u003cbr\u003eStock Number: 25AT6583-2\u003cbr\u003eArtist\/Illustrator: Not Noted\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Made in U.S.A.\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Unsigned\u003cbr\u003eIncludes Envelope: No\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Vertical\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 6 1\/2 x 4 1\/4 inches (closed)\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Embossed Paper, Die-Cut Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an original vintage greeting card from the late 1960s.
