So now we know why folks seem so cheery on vintage greeting cards..... lots of parties, everyone is drunk, and the kiddies are driving around with wineglasses....??
Nothing to worry about here, just a kindly old gentleman welcoming? Sending away? A missile/bomb - oh wait, is that a floating loaf of bread?
The little kid by the seashore clock was not completely naked but....well, I added a shell.
More focus on cocktails and drunkenness, which seems to be the theme of the "good old days".
Now this card is a lovely old design.
When not drinking apparently those celebrating January 1st .....raced birds. I mean, if you're going to let the kiddos drink, why not let them loose on the track too? And there's the hatching of new residents going on....?? 🤔 #DISTURBING
Somehow this cheerful old man does not inspire a warm and fuzzy feeling... 🤔
This card is described as "A robin wishes the recipient of this New Year's greetings card a 'Merry Toper', or a good drink, circa 1871." See the entire post of awesome designs here.
Additional images I felt should be included here.....
