A child racing downhill on a sled sets this New Year greetings card apart from the usual tobacco imagery on this board. Holiday cards of this kind were often lithographed in bright color and handed out at the turn of the year, a common way for businesses to keep their names in front of customers. The snowy winter scene reflects a popular late-19th and early-20th-century taste for cheerful outdoor childhood themes. Its place on the tobacco board likely reflects the company that issued it, so the printed text on the card is worth checking for a brand name.
