Die-cut Victorian Christmas card in the shape of a paper fan, decorated with a pink ribbon and purple and white flowers. “Wishing You a Happy Christmas” is printed along the edge. The back is blank with “Aunt Nellie from Bertha” handwritten in blue ink. Card was likely from former museum curator Elizabeth Bertha Nord, who had an aunt named Nellie Linsley and appears to have donated Victorian postcards and greeting cards to SHS.
