Signs of Spring -"Awaiting the New Arrivals" by James P Gallagher. Fourth issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $50.00
The perky little crocuses have long ago poked through the cold patches of snow, the narcissus have burst into bright yellows and gold, and everywhere tulips are bobbing and swaying in the soft spring breeze.
And high above in an old dogwood tree, resplendent with blossoms, a cardinal couple are busy at work. The female in her camouflaged colors keeps her clutch of eggs warm while her attentive mate flits and flutters about like every father awaiting the new arrivals. He's attentive to his mate's every need, and eagerly does his best to fill in when she needs to get a little something to eat.
All day and night, they work to keep their fragile eggs warm and safe, dreaming of the day when the downy little chicks will poke their way into the world so they can grow big and strong and take to
This magical moment has been forever captured by famed wildlife artist Joe Thornburgh. His masterful art makes it seem as though this
lovely cardinal couple have chosen the big old dogwood in your own backyard as the perfect place to make their nest a home.
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.
