A glad New Year to you
The bulk of the card contains the reproduction of a painting of turbulent seas. Waves swirl around wood that might have been a ship's mast. Two more boats can be seen in the distance. Though the sky appears dark, a small patch of blue might be visible. Cream and gold borders surround the image.
