This is a beautiful Victorian Christmas card before they became established as they are now.  It is likely to be 1860s and is hand crafted with lacy paper layers.  It is scalloped with gold edging and to the front is an applied picture of a little child sheltering in a tree with firewood and to the underneath of that a motto of Little Jack Horner Sat in a Corner Eating a Christmas Pie.  This folds back to reveal a little secret picture of two singing robins and another motto of The Comps of the Season.  The back is unused as shown.

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 4.75 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.
