Up for offer is a beautiful vintage Christmas postcard. On the front is a lovely lithographic illustration of rural cottages in the evening. What makes this card very special is that when you hold it up to a lighted lamp, the light shows through the windows of the cottages and the crescent moon above. If you look closely you can see how the windows and moon have been die cut to allow for the illumination. (see supersized image 1) There is a beautifully printed greeting below (see supersized image 2). This very special hold-to-light postcard has been posted, and has a cancellation with an unreadable date across the British stamp on its divided back.What a lovely, unique and scarce 110 year-old postcard! Some lucky buyer will walk away with this one--will it be you?
