The Girl I Leave Behind Me ...This 1918 Haskell Coffin Swift's Premium Calendar print is one of my favorite vintage pieces ... the love between these two is so precious as her soldier cradles her in his loving arms.
Wm. Haskell Coffin was born in Charleston, SC in 1878. His illustrations graced many magazines.
I so love the sweet beauty he captured in each piece of art.
There is a gentle love & romance ...
... and he DOES deliver his in person, every single morning ...
I love you, honey! You are my true loving cupid ... FOCUS!!
