Bonne Année - Good Luck

This French card looks so modern, almost like something from the 1950s, but it was sent in 1917. The card says Happy New Year and promises that the sprig of Mimosa will bring you good luck.

Here's the back of the card, written by Uncle ____ to his niece, wishing her a happy New Year and hoping that his little card finds her in good health, and sending her a big hug.

    It is a wonderful card. It doesn't look as old as it really is. Have a great new year.

    Pamela, I can also see by your photo that you are dressed very much like today's postcard model.

    Christine, I find the design for 1917 to be strange indeed! IF I hadn't seen the back, I would have argued till blue in the face that that couldn't be from before WWI. How interesting. An artist ahead of his time?
