EDITORS COMMENTS
May you never have to chalk it up: A nostalgic look into the early 20th century with this charming Christmas card featuring a slate and pen. The intricately detailed trompe l'oeil design on the card appears as if the slate and pen are resting on a wooden table, ready for use. The string and pen are tied with a bow, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The slate, a common writing tool during this era, represents the importance of handwritten communication and the value placed on a personal touch. The pen, with its elegant quill and inkwell, symbolizes the artistry and effort that went into creating a handwritten message. The comic greeting on the card reads, "May you never have to chalk it up!" This humorous phrase likely refers to the idea of never having to incur debt or financial hardship. The image of a borrowed pen and the mention of "owing" and "bills" adds to this theme, suggesting that the recipient of the card may be wishing for good fortune and prosperity in the coming year. The use of a wooden frame adds a sense of warmth and tradition to the card, making it a cherished keepsake from the past. This unique and intricately designed card is a reminder of the simple joys and values of the holiday season, and the importance of personal connections and communication.
