This beautiful Christmas greeting card dates, I think to the late 1950s or early 1960s.  It depicts a wood-engraving by Gwenda Morgan titled "Nativity" and it really is a wonderful piece of artwork.   Written greeting on the inside.  The card was hand-printed at the Samson Press, a small private press in Woodstock, Oxfordshire.  The card measures 9.5cm x 22.2cm and opens out to double the width.  No envelope.  

The card is in a very good condition.    A tiny bit of uneveness in the folding.  General edge, spine end and corner rubs, very small creases at bottom corners, light bends and tiny creases at top corners, small, light crease at each top edge, rubbing and light grubbiness along spine, tiny creases at spine ends, some small, light creases across spine, some tiny, light grey marks along bottom front edge, some very light browning and the odd tiny mark to borders, pencil note and some light browning and grubbiness to rear panel with some light marks and the odd tiny mark, some tiny marks and flecks to inside of card, the odd tiny bump to edges.   Please check scans carefully as they help with the condition too.

Please note surface mail or first class inland mail options are always available, please ask for a quote. I always refund any excess postage charges.
