Artist info please ! on 1965 Athena Block Print picture

Bought in 1965, reference 'Athena block print' . Apparently one of a pair - the other being to view of the little girl from the front. Size is 46 cm by 60cm. The signature is hard to read Eli Byorn Larmam or something.... 1963. Any help much appreciated.

I believe Athena was a retailer that sold a very wide range of posters (block prints) in their hundreds of thousands. Some were iconic of their day - eg the female tennis player scratching her bottom - and adorned many student digs (mine included) in the 60s & 70s. They finally went out of business in the 90s.

I've been contacted by a friend who's Mum also has the same print - must have been one of the early ones sold by Athena ( 1st shop was in Hampstead in 1964) so I will let you know is we can get any more info.

A really super twitter / etsy buddy found this "Minerva Reproduktioner, Copenhagen 1969. A reproduction of Christian Bjorn Larsen's 1963 Kristina. From a private collection. Made in Denmark. "
