Summary
Christmas greeting card. Right hand opening cream card. Front-coloured picture of a tabby cat with a red bow round its neck chasing a brown cat with a blue ribbon round its neck and disappearing on the right hand edge of the card is the tip of another cat's tail. In the background is a row of trees and a house. Along the bottom of the card are the words A merry Christmas and the signature Louis Wain. Inside is the verse A merry time, the very time To chase away the cares of life, To hurry after all that's jolly, And run away from every folly: Thus I'd pursue with wishes true And cause all joys to run to you. From Eric Winks To Auntie Florrie signed in pencil Rear blank.
