Description
Christmas Card. Features a white background with the sketch in blue colour on it. The sketch features a woman with three children sitting of the floor by the table and looking at the man standing on the doorstep and holding a box with the words "Preserved Milk" on it. On the upper left corner the words "Christmas in Spain. Bring to the dark Madonna no more myrrh, Bring to her Child No gold or frankincense. To him and her Lead no more asses piled With jars of spikenard and bales of silk. But to them bring Lavishly gofts of milk. Oh bring them milk Swiftly, shepherd and king! Lest the dark mother waking in the morn of Christmastide Sees on her bosom not the Christ new-born, But Christ the crucified. Eleanor Farjeon".
