Dating back to the late 1890s, this quirky card captures the spirit of holiday humor with its comic depiction of a man having his long nose bitten by a playful turkey. The card's design is adorned with intricate wickerwork borders, adding to its vintage appeal. The man, dressed in a suit and holding a wicker basket, appears both surprised and slightly alarmed as the turkey, with a wry expression on its face, clings to his nose. The scene is further embellished with holly leaves and berries, symbolizing the festive season. This comic card was a popular form of communication during the Victorian era, allowing people to express their humor and creativity in the context of the holiday season. The image of a man being bitten by a turkey was likely intended to bring a smile to the recipient's face and spread holiday cheer. As you hold this vintage card in your hands, imagine the delight and amusement it would have brought to its original recipient over a century ago. A unique and intriguing piece of history, this card is a testament to the enduring power of humor and the joy of the holiday season.
