Lot #244: Vintage 1960s MCM Big Eye Animal Litho Prints Framed Set of 4 - 3D Diorama Kitsch Nursery

highly collectible, complete set of four vintage mid-century modern "Big Eye" animal lithograph prints dating back to the late 1960s. This incredibly charming set features an anthropomorphic baby bear, tiger cub, lion with a small mouse friend, and a baby elephant adorned with daisies.What makes this specific series highly prized by vintage collectors is the masterful hybrid production technique used to create them. Rather than a flat, traditional painting, these prints are lithographic reproductions of three-dimensional, mixed-media diorama collages compiled by publishers like Colonial Studios. The original studio scenes were built layered with real fabric elements—such as felt, faux-fur texturing, and ribbon overlays—and then expertly photographed under specialized lighting to preserve the realistic shadows and tangible depth. The result is a gorgeous, tactile "Fuzzy Wuzzy" look captured beautifully on a flat print surface.All four prints come housed in their original retro, bright yellow-painted wooden frames, perfectly complementing the kitsch palette of the era. This set is an absolute must-have for lovers of retro nursery decor, 1960s Pop Art/Kitsch, or collectors of the iconic Margaret Keane-era "Big Eye" art movement. Pickup category timeslot {A}
