Advent Calendars- Photographic Die Cut
These beautiful advent calendars from Germany are all die cut shaped calendars so that the contour of the calendar is the roof line of each building. The quality of the photographs used to make them is very good.Add to that their large size ( most being 21 inches high ) and the great content of the individual images used behind the 24 little doors of the calendar itself and you have a remarkable piece of art.
Westminster Abbey leads of the list .
With the changing value of the dollar to the euro we have had to adjust our prices.
