LATE 19TH CENTURY LOUIS PRANG CHRISTMAS CARD

Early Christmas cards used some unusual themes; flowers, birds and nature scenes were more popular than Christmas trees, Santa Claus or Poinsettias. This early card is from Louis Prang who sold very expensive Christmas cards using some of the best illustrators of the age. The image is a little unusual and not very Christmas oriented, but this was a popular card of the day.
