Houghton Mifflin Holiday Books Advertisement Postcard

A vintage advertisement illustration announces Houghton Mifflin and Company's 1895 holiday book bulletin: a shelf of leather- and cloth-bound volumes, an ornate hanging tag from the Riverside Press, and a sprig of holly with red berries laid across an open page. The ‘For Sale Here’ banner below marks it as a shopkeeper's window display card.

• Size: 10 × 15 cm

A curious pick for collectors of print ephemera or anyone assembling a bookish postcard shelf.
