Victorian Christmas. Original watercolour and ink Christmas card / postcard of a couple ice skating, dated 1882. A family heirloom handed down by my grandmother though unfortunately she never knew who the artist was. There are initials under the sign on the left but I can't decipher them. The sign on the left says ' dangerous'. The wording under the image says' Wishing you a very Happy Christmas 23rd DECI, 1882. (Actually says' DECI', not 'DEC', for information).
