40 Jolly Holly Christmas Cards

An evocative collection of cheery Christmas cards celebrating the vibrant colour of holly and winter berries. Reproducing 19th century and early 20th century greetings cards and an illustration for the ‘Illustrated London Almanack’, 1863. The nostalgic mix includes painterly snowscenes and cheerful greetings from cards in the collection of The New York Public Library and Library of Congress, alongside Victorian postcards. The front of the cards reproduce the original greetings, which include ‘In Winter's Embrace' from 1907, 'Holly Time' from 1906, and ‘Bright berries in the gloomy green! To every soul that lives. Some bright hopes glow their griefs between When God the New Year gives’, from an 1890s postcard.
