[Rarebooks] FS: 1900s Humorous Camera-Theme Christmas / New Year Mechanical Card

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1900s Humorous Camera-Theme Christmas / New Year Mechanical Card.

A rather ingenious card, with a color illustration of a camera and the 
text-

“The Snap-Shot of the Season - There’s no NEGATIVE, about My POSITIVE 
wish that, You may have a Most Enjoyable Christmas, with many A FULL 
PLATE, and lots of successful DEVELOPMENTS, in the New Year. The Festive 
Season LENS itself, to Happiness I’m sure, May’t FOCUS our Affection in, 
A Love that shall endure. So take this CARTE and just supPOSE, ’tis what 
I wish could be, ENFRAMED for Us at Christmastide, RE-TOUCHING You and 
Me”.

But that’s not all- upon opening the camera flap you’re presented a 
drawing of a man and woman embracing with the caption, “Beware of DARK 
ROOMS!”.

Published in London by Angus Thomas.

Mechanical card. 5.75”x4”. Some minor soil, light wear. Slight crease 
and tear on the left side. $150
