The Hartford Courant reported that reproductions of a woodcut of the new home office of the Aetna Life Insurance Company on Farmington Avenue were being mailed to 2,500 employees of the company.

  1. The original woodcut was drawn by Morton C. Hansen.
  2. The company sent the reproductions as “an expression of the season’s greetings.”

According to the article, Hansen was the first artist to depict the “pictorial beauty of the new structure.”

“Mr. Hansen is a favorite of Hartford art lovers for his woodcuts of historic Connecticut buildings.”
