New-Original Genuine Coca Cola Collectible "Travel Refreshed" Framed Print
This Coca Cola Collectible Christmas Sprite Boy Print "Travel Refreshed" by Haddon Sundblom 1945 Excellent/ Like New showroom condition. Executed in 1945, this Sundblom Christmas painting includes not only Santa, but Sundblom's other enduring creation the "Sprite Boy". First introduced in 1942 "Sprite Boy" was used to introduce the name "Coke" and to remind the public to use the brand names "Coke" or "Coca-Cola" when asking for their favorite soft drink. In this painting "Sprite Boy" holds the reins of Santa's reindeers, maintaining eye contact with the viewer while Santa looms over the scene drinking from a bottle of Coca-Cola creating a dreamlike effect for the viewer. After 1949 "Sprite Boy" would no longer appear with Santa. The elf like figure with the sparkling bow tie and prematurely white hair would be gradually phased out of Coca-Cola advertising, disappearing altogether by 1958.
This is a wonderful piece for any collector. Would make a great Christmas Gift! Size or print inside frame is 15-inches long x 12-inches tall. I bought this from the Coca Cola Company in 1998 to give to my mother for Christmas and she never hung it up. When she passed away last year I found it in he closet inside a luggage and I got it back but I have not use for it so I am selling it.
