This is a beautiful Victorian New Year card before they became established as they are now.  It is likely to be 1870s and features a lovely bright picture of two sailors on the dock reciting a terrifying poem about little boys being eaten by a sea serpent who is heading in their direction.  The motto is - May No Ghostly Visions Mar Your New Year Joys.  It has marks signifying glue attachment at some point.

It is a very rare and very charming piece which will display beautifully, particularly framed and measures 3.5 inches across. 

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.
