There were about a dozen different animals all dressed up, as cards for kids. The artist was Jesse Spicer Zerner who went by the name "Peja". I put a pic of the gouache original and the first cutout on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/119623934@N04/32567993581/in/dateposted-public/Annerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00812219225557363228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-22126380515176220902015-04-20T12:10:26.307-07:002015-04-20T12:10:26.307-07:00Thank you Anna!

The company was later Fravessi-Lamont, then back to Fravessi (maybe in the late '80s). Fravessi was purchased by Olympia Sales Inc in 2002 and continues today as Fravessi and Fravessipaperstreet. Their retail site is olympiacardshop.com and they do carry vintage designs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494999316432176196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-68253857093858686032010-01-19T16:36:54.904-08:002010-01-19T16:36:54.904-08:00John,

She was a pretty talented water colorist. I have some of her work in the basement and alas, one of her best pieces was lost in the 9/11 attack (I had an office on the 59th floor and had her painting there.) Jean Lamont divorced and remarried Stanley Dell, who was a major translator of Carl Jung. They settled in Washington, CT, where she died around 1987.John Lamonthttp://toeltest.com/hsmusings/public/indexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-15630660891115124262009-03-09T09:50:00.000-07:002009-03-09T09:50:00.000-07:00I knew you'd love it!
