- New York: Silver Swan Studios, 1930
New York: Silver Swan Studios, 1930. First Edition. Limp Leatherette Porftolio. Handles. Metal Snaps to Secure Closed. Very Good. N.d., circa 1930s. Oblong, 25.5 by 33 cm. Introductory sheet, followed by 39 enumerated pages, with a Christmas card, and envelope, on every page. Pages themselves provide cost information, based on volume of order. Wide variety of Xmas card designs, with varying sizes as well. As one would expect with Christmas and Season's Greetings cards, there's a heavy dollop of nostalgia and sentimentality informing the cards, but also encountered are beautiful scenery, humor, silhouettes, Art Deco elements, cut-outs, shallow relief, etc. Most cards are folded, and sometimes double folded. The album itself is squarely from the Art Deco heyday, given the Art Deco abstract pattern of the tissue guards, as one for instance. Condition: Moderate wear to binder. Intro sheet chipped and torn, detached from the binder, and brittle. Leaf with P. 1/2 also detached and more lightly chipped. Last two leaves with some chipping, and minor loss of text on final leaf. The cards and envelopes themselves are all present and in fine condition.
