--Christmas Card

The front of this card reads "Best Wishes" and has a raised, central rectangle containing a black and white outdoor winter scene.  The paper is a tan color.  The inside of the card reads "With Best Wishes for a Bright and Happy Christmas". At the bottom is the word "From" but there is no name written here.  At the top of the card is a quote from Shakespeare "In all may'st thow prove prosperous. In all I wish thee happiness".

The card folds at the left side and the bottom 1/2" of the fold is separated.

The back of the card shows the maker's mark for Raphael Tuck & Sons, Ltd, London "designed in London, printed in Germany" and "Publishers to Her Majesty the Queen" (this would've been Queen Victoria, making this card from the late 1800's).  

Raphael Tuck & Sons were founded in 1870 and were most famous for their printing of post cards and greeting cards.

The card measures 3" wide x 4-1/2" high (folded). There is slight wear to the finish of the paper, but, overall, it is in nice condition.

Inside the card is attached off-white paper. The left side reads "With this I send affection, Right in your direction".  The right side has a color image of a cherub with hearts and a woman smelling roses.  

The card is unbranded (there is no information on the back of the card). There is slight age-related discoloration and slight edge wear but the card is in very good condition.  It measures 3" wide x 4-3/4" high.
