Happy New Year!
Transformation card, Dutch, around 1830
A new year is like the unprinted back of a playing card. Use it and make the best of it!

The card that I have
selected to kick off this year is a so-called transformation card. The
illustration was made by hand over the printed pip, in such a way that the heart
(a heart) was incorporated into the created image. I found this card in a set of 50 cards, all hand made transformation cards, with 7 different back designs, so this person used single cards, that were left over from several packs. |
