ADVENT CALENDAR 2023
December 21
In 1942, Philadelphia artist Frank Snyder designed this Christmas card depicting the three wise men gazing skyward in search of the Star of Bethlehem, accompanied by their camels. He and his wife, Ann, sent the card to Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn. Snyder worked as a painter and muralist at Glencairn from 1937 to 1940, and continued working for the Pitcairns on freelance projects into the early 1950s. His work at Glencairn included a large Adoration of the Shepherds painting on canvas, a mural in Michael Pitcairn’s bedroom, and several painted plexiglass lampshades.
