A Happy New Year to You!
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” for the 31st of December 2021 is “New Year Cards”.
This postcard, published by Raphael Tuck and Sons in 1904 features the faerie tale of Hansel and Grethel. Chromolithographed in Bavaria, it one of a set of six faerie tale postcards in this series to celebrate Christmas and New Year. I do hope that you like it, and that it makes you smile.
I know that like 2020, 2021 is a year many of us would rather forget, however I'd like to end the year as I started, on a positive note. There have been many wonderful things that have happened in the second year of this world pandemic, and some of those things I have found on Flickr this year including beautiful images, lovely stories and connections with old and new friends. I'm grateful for all of those things and more besides. Thank you for the smiles and laughs! I sincerely hope that you find something to smile and laugh about this New Year's Eve.
I'd like to wish all my Flickr friends and followers the very best for the New Year. Thank you for your support, encouragement and comments this year. Thank you also for all your wonderful photographs!
May your New Year's Eve be a festive one, however you are celebrating this year, and if you are fortunate enough celebrate it with others, may those others be people you love and who love you. May 2022 be a happy, artistic and prosperous year for you all.
A Happy New Year to You!
