Original Illustration of 'Sally and Puff' from Dick and Jane Readers

This item is an original hand-painted illustration or a hand-colored production cel/print featuring iconic characters from the mid-20th-century 'Dick and Jane' educational reading series. The artwork depicts the character Sally holding a red balloon, reaching out toward the kitten, Puff, who is jumping in the air. The text 'Jump, Puff.' is prominently displayed on the right side in a classic sans-serif font typical of educational materials from the 1940s-1950s. The piece is rendered on lined paper, suggesting it may have been used for instructional purposes or was a production study. The color palette is bright and primary, with Sally wearing a yellow top and blue overalls, consistent with her character design in the Scott Foresman published books. The artwork is housed in a simple, weathered wooden frame with signs of age-related wear including scuffing and minor finish loss. The paper shows evidence of slight yellowing and light foxing, which is consistent with its estimated age from the mid-century period. A faint signature or mark is visible in the upper right corner, though it is partially obscured by the frame's edge. This piece represents a significant example of American pedagogical history and mid-century commercial illustration art.
