		<description><![CDATA[Collectors treasure the beautiful color prints found on advertising calendars of  the early twentieth century, known as &#8220;The Golden Age of Illustration.&#8221;  But, as we know, many of those beautiful illustrations started as equally beautiful black and white photos by Beatrice Tonnesen and others.  Unfortunately, because the calendar companies that published the color prints usually [...]]]></description>
