Hold-to-Light Christmas Card

With the holidays fast approaching, I thought I'd feature some seasonal ephemera like this valuable 1908 Hold-to-Light Christmas card.

Hold-to-Light cards are also known as "see through" or "look through". And there are several types, such as die-cut and transparencies. When held up to a bright light, the cards reveal striking colors--designed to amuse and impress.

In the days leading up to Christmas, I will feature a few more seasonal items that I think you'll enjoy. On Christmas Day, I have a special post planned! So, keep checking back frequently. And be sure to tune in on 12-25-07.
