EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming Christmas card from the early 1900s, featuring two old cronies sharing a hearty holiday greeting. The scene is set before a cozy, green and red front door, adorned with holly and ivy, inviting friends to come inside and celebrate the joyous season. The first crony, dressed in a warm coat and hat, extends a friendly wave, while the second, with a pipe clenched between his teeth and a glass of grog in hand, offers a toast with a jovial smile. The warm glow of the lantern and the twinkling Christmas lights add to the festive atmosphere, creating a sense of nostalgia and camaraderie. The card's simple yet heartfelt message reads, "Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May your days be filled with good health, good friends, and plenty of screw (tobacco) and drink." This old-fashioned greeting embodies the spirit of the holiday season - one of warmth, friendship, and the simple pleasures in life. This beautiful postcard, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a true treasure from the past. It's a reminder that no matter how much time passes, the essence of the holiday season remains the same - a time for friends, family, and hearty greetings.
