EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful Christmas card from the 1930s features a striking image of Queen Mary's signature in sepia ink. The card, which comes with an accompanying envelope, dates back to 1936, making it a unique piece of historical artifact. Queen Mary, who was the wife of King George V and the mother of King George VI, signed this card during a time of great personal and national significance. Having lost her husband in January of that year, she became a widow at the age of 61 and assumed the role of regent for her son until his accession in May 1936. The card's simple yet elegant design adds to its charm, with the brown ink and subtle texture of the paper giving it a warm, vintage feel. The use of the royal signature on a Christmas card was a common tradition during the monarchy's golden age, and this particular card offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the British royal family during the 1930s. A beautiful and thoughtful addition to any Christmas card collection, this signed card is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the holiday season.
