1st January 1908: A Vintage New Year's Card from Montevideo, Uruguay This charming New Year's card, dated Wednesday, 1st January 1908, is a beautiful souvenir of Montevideo, Uruguay. The image on the card features the Uruguayan flag proudly displayed against a backdrop of the city's picturesque streets and buildings. The card's design exudes a sense of warmth and celebration, making it a fitting way to usher in the new year. As we welcome the new year, it's interesting to reflect on the historical events that took place around the world during this time. One such event occurred over 468 years ago, on 15th January 1540, when the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V entered Paris, marking the beginning of the Spanish occupation of the city. This significant historical event is a stark contrast to the joyous scene depicted on this 1908 New Year's card from Montevideo. The Uruguayan flag, which is prominently displayed on the card, consists of nine horizontal stripes of equal size, alternating between sky blue and white, with a yellow sun in the center. The sun represents the country's name, which means "river of the color of gold" in the Guarani language. The flag's design reflects Uruguay's rich cultural heritage and its proud connection to the river that runs through the heart of the country. This vintage New Year's card is a lovely reminder of the traditions and celebrations of the past, as well as a testament to the enduring spirit of Montevideo and Uruguay.
