Christmas Greeting Card with Sid
Image
Composite image of a photograph of Sid superimposed on a drawing. Created for a one-fold, copy art Christmas greeting card, the graphic shows Sid sitting on a large, open hand extending through layers of clouds in the sky. Sid is holding one of his photographic prints of Gisholt machines, taken when he was the lensman at Gisholt Machine Company. The large hand is also holding a large-format camera on a tripod. Card text reads: "Merry Christmas" and "This moment too, is part of eternity."
