EXTREMELY RARE
Mother Christmas Victorian trade card from an antique scrapbook made in 1870s
Excellent condition, some writing on the back (top part)
One of the rarest cards in my collection is a card depicting Mother Christmas, from around 1870. The chromolithographed card, illuminated in gold, depicts Mother Christmas with wand, within a border of holly and toys, captioned above:
‘With trumpets and with drums,/Lo! Mother Christmas comes.’
