Description
This greeting card is a great example of Baumann's skill in carving text. He not only provides us with a Hoosier winter scene but notes the distinct Hoosier dialect in his prose. This is a wonderful example of what can be conveyed with a simple design when done by an artist so skilled at his craft.
