Josephine's Christmas Party — Honor C. Appleton Postcard

Reproduced from the storybook cover of “Josephine's Christmas Party” by Mrs. H. C. Cradock, this card shows Josephine twirling in a blue dress as paper streamers stream overhead and a crowd of dolls — a kimono doll, a teddy bear, a duck toy — dance around her.

The cover credits read “Pictured by Honor C. Appleton” and “Blackie,” making this a natural pick for a fellow collector of vintage children's books, especially near the holidays.
