Summary
Christmas greeting card-right hand opening card made of cream card with a cream paper insert, held in place by a pale blue ribbon bow. Front-the edges of the card are embossed to create the effect of a frame. The picture is an interior scene showing a black cat sitting in front of a blazing fire. On the mantelpiece are blue and white plates and bowls. To the left of the fire is a window with blue curtains and in front of it is a blue armchair. A circular table has a bowl of holly on it. Inside on the left hand side of the paper insert is the verse May every day be a step beyond To brighter things in view, And every store have a richer store Of happiness for you. Below the verse is a line drawing of a window, with a lit candle in it. On the right hand page is a line drawing of two flowers and some leaves and then the text. A Friendly Greeting at this Glad Season of Christmas and to wish you Joy in the New Year With best wishes to you both. A. C. B Rear MADE IN GT BRITAIN
