Multilayered Happy New Year's Card with Hidden Messages and Images

  • England , 1880
By
England, 1880. Very good to near-fine. Staining on back, a couple nicks.. A very visually attractive card made from layered Victorian scrap and paper tabs. When the bottom scrap is lifted, it reveals a wintry scene with two praying children and an angel. When the same scrap is pulled vertically downwards instead of up, tabs pull the other scraps to reveal a ship flanked by a woman seeing off her sailor lover. Beneath this scrap is yet another greeting: "A Happy New Year to You". Measures approx. 5" by 3.25
