Notes

  • 1. On the back of this card is a date in an unknown hand: "about 1885." This and two other Christmas cards appear to have been sent to the Johnston children sometime during the 1880s: the first, to Kitty Johnston, is undated; the second, to Harold Johnston, is dated March 26, suggesting that the cards were characteristically belated.
