The Victorians had some weird taste in Christmas cards, putting that aside
Not ‘ A Happy Christmas’ in sight.
Plus get a load of this 1950s Christmas card.

I did an O level in photography. We learnt about how photography’s could be manipulated for propaganda . Even in the American Civil War Staged scenes: Photographers would arrange bodies etc

Arrietty blk rat had to have a hysterectomy to save her, recently lost her two siblings to cancer, meets a new friend (as yet unnamed) Arrietty is nearly 18mth old & so tiny she looks the same size as the baby blonde rat she’s introduced to. So the cycle of rat keeping continues.
