Description and record details
| Title | Christmas Card Children with Puddings & Toys |
|---|---|
| Description | A photo of a Christmas card. Staged scenes such as this were sold as Christmas cards in the early days. Christmas hampers dispatched by rail from London and other big town stores were unreturnable and often given to the children to play with. This was often the result - labelled turkey, mince pies, plum pudding, etc., a family, surrounded by the puddings and odd toys are pictured here. The inscription reads, "'What jolly fun the boys all said, Here's Mary standing on her head'. A Romping Christmas". |
