This card is quite different from most of the other cards I've shared so far. It's a simple shepherd boy tending his sheep who are resting under a Yucca tree. Perhaps the song he is playing on his flute calms the sheep. Perhaps he plays a Psalm or a hymn.
On the inside of the card, the upper section, there is a verse ....
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a saviour, which is Christ the Lord." ~ Luke 2:11
On the inside of the card, lower portion, there is a greeting that is all in caps and reads......
MAY THE PEACE AND HAPPINESS OF CHRISTMAS BE YOURS TODAY
AND EVERY DAY THROUGHOUT THE COMING NEW YEAR
That is a beautiful sentiment for Christmas and for the coming year!
I found myself curious about the artwork on the card as there is an artists signature in the lower left corner .... Paul E. Decker. When I did a search of his name, I found other illustrations for greeting cards that he has done. And I also discovered that there is a market for vintage Christmas cards! I will be keeping my cards, no plans to sell them. They bring peace, what a gift!
