Free Vintage New Year Cards

Holiday Crafts — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:59:51 +0000

Can you believe that it’s almost time for another new year? No matter how you might feel about the swift passage of time (at least it seems incredibly swift to me), you’ve got to love these vintage New Year cards. Unlike vintage Christmas cards, which have pretty predictable themes; the subjects portrayed on these New Year’s cards vary widely. In addition to the expected champagne, clocks, and good-luck four-leaf clovers and horseshoes; there are cats, angels, pansies, birds, country scenes, blue Delft tiles and even an elf or two.

I hope you enjoy these vintage New Year cards and that they brighten up your transition to the new year!

There are all kinds of opinions about whether angels and cherubs really exist. But when it comes to their existence in vintage art, there is no question. Artists of old loved the subject of these little heavenly helpers. You can see evidence of that everywhere in ephemera that has been passed down through the generations, scanned and put online. We’re fortunate so many good examples have survived the passage of time, so we can bring them to you!
