T for the Toys

I forgot to show you this Christmas card. It’s the one I gave my Mum & Dad. I scanned it ages ago, before I sent it to them at Xmas obviously, and then I forgot about it!

The card folds out into 3 sections and shows illustrations taken from a late Victorian alphabet book. I love these pictures.

T for the Toys

The alphabet book was published c.1894, by F. Warne & Co., London & New York. The card is by Bodleian Library, University of Oxford.

I promise that’s my final mention of Christmas and Christmas cards, for a few months anyway!
