Capehart Collection Portfolios A thru F
38 Total Art Prints, ALL NEAR MINT
Still in their original mailing envelopes postmarked 1945
This is a nice find. Portfolios A through F of the Capehart Collection, a beautiful run of reproduction advertising art prints for the Capehart division of Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation. I know exactly when these were printed/mailed, because all but one portfolio is still in its original protective holder and mailing envelope (all except portfolio F, but that one still was in its protective holder.) These are from 1945, printed on high-quality pebble-textured paper stock, and all in as near mint condition as you could ever hope to find. These are all beautiful and suitable for framing.

I can't be sure if each portfolio is complete or not, but that's my guess, judging from the near pristine, undisturbed condition I found them in. is a complete listing of what is in each portfolio, the name of the piece followed by the artist:

Each print is an interpretation of a specific piece of music, and each includes the artist's name, the piece of music it's based on, and a short detail about the composer and what is going on in each picture. The paper size is approximately 13" wide by 8 1/2" tall, with each actual color print being several inches smaller, leaving a white border area around each. This collection includes 38 total prints in all. The near mint quality is amazing, whoever buys this collection will be thrilled at the condition.
