Birthday Greetings 1905

I so love these Victorian Birthday greetings cards, I have never seen anything like them before. I love the font and it’s amazing to think this is how ladies used to dress a hundred years ago. The original collages must have been stunning. I’m sure I will be posting a few of these…..
