On the left is a John R. Neill family Christmas card from 1927, featuring daughters Natalie and Annrea on skis. This is printed on a standard size piece of buff colored paper, so it seems like more of a Christmas letter than card - but I'm not entirely sure how it was used!Neill created original family Christmas cards for many years, and it must have been fun to be a recipient. Some of the cards involved hand coloring, others were just black & white. As always, a strong sense of whimsy is present, as can be seen in the present example.
Merry Christmas!
