Catalogue Note
'When Christmas Was' is currently untraced. However, A.E. Johnson was active in the 1930s during which time Rackham contributed drawings for 'To Bethlehem: A Christmas Masque' by Laura Spencer Porter, published in Woman's Home Companion in December 1931. Both sheets appear to have a pencil note of "WHC | 7884" on the reverse.
