This is a beautiful Victorian Christmas card before they became established as they are now. It is likely to be 1860s and is a lovely little story book. It is called Our Goose - A Christmas Legend. It opens to reveal the four stages of the preparation - Acquisition, Anticipation, Indignation and Redistribution and the goose most definitely does not get cooked! It is a charming little piece in very nice condition with a fold to the second picture and a very slight separation between the first and second parts.
It has minor wear to the extending parts and is a very rare and very charming piece which will display beautifully, particularly framed and measures 4.1 inches across unopened and is 2.75 inches high.
As a vintage or antique item, it will show signs of age and patina. This is a lovely very old item.
Please look at the photos carefully and please do ask any questions, I am happy to help.
