DAY 12 OF '12 DAYS OF VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS CARDS'
On the final day of '12 Days of Victorian Christmas Cards', I'd like to share a card from the 1860s featuring a New Year message. Many Victorian cards looked ahead to the New Year.
Cards from the 1860s always had a paper 'lace' border like this. In this card, you can see a scene from Dr Yule's Popular Lectures for the Young with a Christmas pudding for the globe. I'm not sure what the diagram on the blackboard is referring to!
