IT HAS A LIGHT IN IT. IT IS NUMBERED AND HAS A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY & REGISTRY.THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE. IT HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE NORMAN ROCKWELL FAMILY TRUST. EACH ISSUE WAS AUTHORIZED BY ROCKWELLS SON AND TRUST. IN 1966 SOME FIVE DECADES AGO ON IN HIS ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER NORMAN ROCKWELL COMPLETED A REMARKABLE PANORAMIC VIEW OF HIS HOMETOWN OF STOCKBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS. THE WORK ENTITLED "STOCKBRIDGE AT CHRISTMAS," APPEARED IN McCALL MAGAZINE IN 1967. PRAISED FROM CRITICS AND THE PUBLIC ALIKE WAS IMMEDIATE AND UNIVERSAL. THEN AND TODAY IT IS REGARDED AS AMONG HIS FINEST WORKS-A MASTERPIECE-AND IS ON DISPLAY AT THE NORMAN ROCKWELL MUSEUM IN STOCKBRIDGE. AS A LANDSCAPE THE PAINTING IS ALSO RARE AND UNUSUAL FOR ROCKWELL USUALLY PORTRAYED PEOPLE IN HIS WORK. YET IN THIS COMPOSITION IT IS THE QUAINT BUILDINGS OF STOCKBRIDGE THAT TAKE CENTER STAGE, AS THE CHARMING CHARACTERS IN A WARM AND DELIGHTFUL CHRISTMAS STORY.I WILL QUOTE HIS SON: WITH WARM LIGHTS SHINING IN WINDOWS ON MAIN STREET MY FATHERS STOCKBRIDGE AT CHRISTMAS PAINTING IS ALIVE WITH HOLIDAY CHEER. NOW IT SEEMS ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE-AND UTTERLY INSPIRED- TO REINTERPRET POPS ORIGINAL ART IN THIS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF ILLUMINATED PORCELAIN SCULPTURES. EACH GIVING OFF IT OWN WARM GLOW AND TOGETHER RECREATING MY FATHERS MASTERPIECE. AND THE VILLAGE OF STOCKBRIDGE ITSELF IN ALL ITS GLORY. I HEAR BY GRANT THE SEAL OF THE NORMAN ROCKWELL FAMILY TRUST TO ROCKWELLS CHRISTMAS IN STOCKBRIDGE ILLUMINATED SCULPTURE COLLECTION WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM AND PRIDE.
