    Description

    Christmas card by Marcus Ward & Co. Gilt illustration of flowers with an inset picture of a young girl holding a basket of fruit. At the top there is a short verse which is attributed to Pope: the Pope in question is likely referencing the poet Alexander Pope, whose poem "To Mrs. M. B. on Her Birthday" has a verse very similar to this. No record of these specific lines can be found, so it's likely a misquote. Very small text in the bottom right corner says "Ent. Sta. Hall"  Published by Marcus Ward & Co. Handwritten note on the back. 2 3/4" x 4".
