Victorian Christmas cards. Two delightful late Victorian circular colour lithograph Christmas cards, each in the form of a cricket ball with a cricket scene in a country setting to the centre. One depicts a batsman preparing to play a stroke, with title in gold lettering to lower edge, ‘Every Christmas Joy be Thine’ and handwritten dedication in ink to verso dated 1889. The other depicts a bowler in his action, similarly titled ‘With Best Wishes for Christmas’. Each measures approx. 3” diameter. Very good condition.
