The New Year and Clocks

There are a number of symbols that are associated with the New Year. One of my favorites is the image of a clock striking midnight. Here are some classic examples.

These cards were all produced by Raphael Tuck & Sons. Here are the backs of the cards in the same order.

    What was that naughty young boy doing, smoking? But these are absolutely charming images.

    I love these classic postcards. Perfect for new years. I can’t help but notice the Ben Franklin stamp on the bottom card. One of my favorite elements of these old postcards is the handwritten fonts. Thanks for pulling these together!
