EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic New Year greetings card from 1908 captures the essence of a bygone era. The chromolitho print showcases an enchanting scene filled with elements that symbolize the turn of the year. In this charming image, we are transported to a frosty winter landscape where an Edwardian couple embarks on a joyous journey in their vintage car. As they drive through the snow-covered countryside, Old Father Time himself accompanies them, holding his scythe as a reminder of the passing year. The presence of an egg timer cleverly represents the ticking seconds as time marches forward into the new year. A vigilant policeman stands watch nearby, ensuring safety on this early motoring adventure. This delightful greeting card not only encapsulates the excitement and progress associated with early 20th-century transport but also serves as a whimsical reminder to embrace change and welcome new beginnings. Preserved in private collection for over a century, this piece offers us a glimpse into history while evoking feelings of nostalgia and anticipation for what lies ahead. It is truly remarkable how art can transcend time and continue to inspire generations long after its creation.
