Rare New Year’s greeting card from 1857, printed in fine lithography with gold ink on glossy paper. This is not a rigid porcelain card but a finely printed lithograph on glossy paper, typical of luxury prints from that period.
The card features a French inscription:
"M. Bosiers, commissionnaire du cercle artistique, littéraire & scientifique, a l'honneur de vous souhaiter une heureuse année."
The illustration depicts a woman in a flowing gown standing on a pedestal. In her right hand, she holds a mirror, while from the horn in her left hand emerge various artistic and scientific elements, including a painter’s palette, pliers, a hammer, books, notebooks, and quill pens.
