Description
Dating from the 1870’s to 1890’s, three lithograph greeting cards printed by the Gibson & Co., Cin’ti, Ohio. Each has a colored printed scene with each scene different. These colored prints are attached to a larger card. The outer border is a black and white floral print. Two of the cards have hand writing on the back ~ of who they were to, and who they were from. The third one is blank. All three are marked Gibson & Co. in one of the corners.
The size is 9″ x 11″.
Condition of the cards are decent but not perfect. One has a missing corner. Others have bends / creases to the corners. A tiny bit of soiling.
If you love early paper ~~ I have not found any other cards quite like these in the larger format. These are from a collection of beautiful paper items I bought nearly 30 years ago. The particular cards had been stored until I unearthed them recently! Sold as a lot.
