[CELEBRITY ART CO.]

A decorative novelty photomontage image, offering a visual pun on the common phrase in the title. Celebrity Art Co. was a prolific Boston publisher of calendars, art prints and paper novelties through the first two decades of the 20th century. The company's name appears to have stopped appearing in the annual director of The American Stationer around 1924.
