Chromolithographed Greeting Card with Border Inspired by Illuminated Manuscripts

Belfast, United Kingdom: Marcus Ward & Co, 1880. Very good. Light dust soiling, remnants of scrapbook adhesive to verso.. An attractive chromolithographed greeting card produced by Marcus Ward & Co. of Belfast, using a border and proportions inspired by illuminated manuscripts. In the middle, a chromolithographed image has been affixed, and depicts a boy in a pink and yellow outfit waving a red, white, and blue flag, with his dog at his feet. The flag resembles an upside-down version of the flag of the Netherlands. At this time, it would roughly correspond to the flag flown by the Kingdom of Slavonia. Measures approx. 3" by 2.25", verso blank.
