Happy New Year
Description
Ornamental red scrollwork frames a delightfully whimsical New Year greeting card from 1922, which showcases an imaginative procession featuring an elephant-like creature and a goat or dragon-like creature hauling a cart bearing a Western-style building labeled 'New Building 1922,' with a bovine figure atop the structure. Muted greens, reds, and earth tones create a charming palette throughout. The card exemplifies optimistic commercial symbolism tied to a new building or institution opening in 1922.
