Description
A formal portrait of an elderly bearded man appears inside an oval frame decorated with holly and berries. The card includes ornate lettering reading “A Joyful Christmas” and a printed Dickens quotation below. The overall design is festive and Victorian in style. The card appears to be from the early 1900s.
Front Text (verbatim):
A Joyful Christmas
It is good to be children, sometimes,
And never better than at Christmas,
When its mighty Founder was a child himself!
Dickens
