Signs of Spring -"A Family Feast" by James P Gallagher. First issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $50.00
The outdoor picnic—one of many that this young family is going to enjoy while spring lasts—is about to begin. Excited, high-pitched
squeaks and squawks fill the air. But the pecking order is reversed, with adults waiting their turn so the children can eat first!
This, after all, is no ordinary meal, but "A Family Feast," the first issue in acclaimed wildlife artist Joe Thornbrugh's all-cardinal Signs of Spring collection. And what a great sense of family, with all its privileges, responsibilities, and joy, we see in "A Family Feast!" Three cardinal chicks, new residents of a nest and naked except for tufts of reddish down here and there, steal the show. One of them still has his eyes tightly shut; the other two, beaks wide open and eyes shiny with hungry anticipation, are completely aware that Mother and Father have returned to the nest with such tasty morsels as worms and hulled sunflower seeds.
All around the family, dogwood is in bloom. And all around "A Family Feast," a delicate garland of dogwood blossoms , bordered in brilliant 22-karat gold, adds the perfect final touch to this utterly delightful fivesome.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
