John Lennon-Designed Christmas Cards (3) for Action for the Crippled Child Three original 1960s Christmas cards designed by John Lennon and sold in aid of Action for the Crippled Child, each measuring 3.25 x 5.75. The fronts feature Lennon’s distinctive line drawing of a couple beneath mistletoe, accented in red and bearing a facsimile “John Lennon” signature; the same artwork appeared on the cover of the Beatles’ 1964-1965 Christmas Show program. The interior bears the printed greeting, “With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year,” with the opposite page identifying the design as Lennon’s and noting that the card was “sold in aid of Action for the Crippled Child,” the National Fund for Research into Poliomyelitis and Other Crippling Diseases. One of the cards has been filled out by a fan named Linda. In overall fine condition, with some light toning and staining. Accompanied by an original envelope and a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
