Betsey Clark Joy Will Dance Plaque, Hallmark 1970s Vintage Cottage Wall Art

Vintage Hallmark wall plaque featuring artwork by Betsey Clark, beloved for her gentle, ragamuffin-style characters and uplifting sentiments. This 1970s piece depicts two children dancing around a flower-adorned Maypole, accompanied by the quote: “Joy will dance the whole world through, but it must begin with you.” Printed on a sturdy board measuring approximately 6" × 8¼", with a hole for wall mounting. Some versions included metal hanging hardware; this example does not, though a small hole suggests it may have once been present. The image shows light fading and surface wear, including minor indentations and scratches, consistent with age. Overall in good vintage condition and ideal for retro cottagecore decor or Hallmark collectors.
