This collectible piece captures the essence of America's favorite pastime and its cultural significance during that era. Playing cards hold their own allure, as seen in a captivating image from circa 1915. Here, a cowboy and Native American man sit together on a blanket, symbolizing unity amidst diversity—a testament to the power of games bringing people together across different backgrounds. In 1843, John Calcott Horsley crafted the first Christmas card for Sir Henry Cole—an exquisite creation that set off our beloved tradition of exchanging heartfelt greetings during the holiday season.

Thanksgiving also found its place among these cherished traditions with an enchanting American Thanksgiving card dating back to around 1900. Its imagery evokes warmth and gratitude while reminding us to appreciate life's blessings. Nature enthusiasts will find solace in observing creatures like the Stripeless Tree Frog perched upon lichen-covered rocks in Extremadura, West Spain—a mesmerizing sight captured by Celia Haddon's lens.
