Children, a flower, and a butterfly anchor this New Year greeting card, which places its cheerful scene within the board's angels and fairies theme. Cards of this kind became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers produced inexpensive chromolithographs that families mailed or tucked into holiday letters. Sentimental imagery of children with blossoms and winged creatures stood for innocence, renewal, and the hope of a fresh start as the calendar turned. Look closely at the butterfly and flower, since these motifs often carried symbolic meaning for Victorian viewers.
