Card, Christmas
Archive
A 3.75" x 5.5" Christmas card with gold and white borders. The design is that of a woman with a large hat and long white dress trimmed in red siting at a spinning wheel. She is working outside; portions of a wooden building behind her. Below the picture is printed, "A Bright and Happy Christmas" and below that, "Raphael Tuck & Sons."
On the back of the card is printed a poem by E.D.E. that begins, "My thoughts are yours you know, No special days, Can add to them: They flow to you always. But like the chameleon, Which changes hue, My thoughts to day put on, New tints for you, The same thoughts But they wear the seasons glow, It makes the Seasons fair, To tell thee so. " (The words are obliterated by portions of paper, showing the card was pasted or glued to an album or something else.)
