Happy New Year
Description
Blue forget-me-nots and clover cascade around a charming young boy in a sailor outfit and wide-brim hat, who proudly celebrates the turn of the century with a glass of wine, a brown satchel, scattered currency notes and coins surrounding him at his feet. This Edwardian New Year greeting card symbolizes prosperity and fortune for the new year ahead, merging childhood innocence with adult aspirations of wealth—characteristic of early 1900s optimism and economic promise. Ornamental floral borders in soft blues and greens frame the whimsical composition.
