Art Christmas Cards [cover title]. Cabinet of Assorted Christmas Cards ... Contents of £3-13-6 Cabinet ... [front pastedown]

A large screw-bound album (390 x 340 mm), containing 120 Christmas cards mounted on 36 album leaves (rectos only); details regarding series titles, numbers of designs per series, price per gross, and package sizes are printed at the foot of each leaf.

Gilt-pictorial crocodile-patterned cloth a little scuffed and marked, with minor wear to the extremities; the first leaf is a little creased near the inner margin; the contents are in fine condition.

One leaf, captioned 'Genuine Etchings', contains three cards by T.R. Amies. Thomas Reginald Amies (1883-1973) was born in England, but lived in Australia from 1908 (Australian Prints + Printmaking website). The monogram 'BL' is printed on the front cover; a clearer example of it on the front pastedown may be read as 'Bart. Lons.', but we are none the wiser as to the name of the publisher. Internal evidence suggests these are Australian-made, from the 1930s.
