A 1907 New Year's post card pictures the old year as an aged man, with great warm hooded coat, mittens and knapsack, as he disappears over the hill in a swirling snowstorm. Entering the scene is a bright faced boy, the New Year, with umbrella and bag, ready for the storms ahead. The artist has given the lad a pair of cherubic wings. Four-leaf clovers for good luck form the border of the old Tuck post card, which was chromographed in Prussia and published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, art publishers to their majesties, the king and queen of England. Kansas City Star, January 1, 1977.
