Birthday Card 688HB - was $2.95, now $2.00
Girls, I think we need to make a change.. insideToday we are going to have a hair-raising heart-thumping walloping good time! Have a very Happy Birthday!
The
ladies in this 1929 photograph were residents of The Hospital of the
Holy and Undivided Trinity, in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England. Founded
in 1614 by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, the institution was an
almshouse that was deeded to provide for the care of twelve gentlewomen
in need.
There is no getting around it, the scene appears to be a witches’ tea
party; but, the ladies are dressed in the traditional costume of their
home: a red wool cloak adorned with the badge of the Howard family and a
chimney-pot beaver hat of the Jacobean era. This costume is still being
worn at the Holy and Undivided Trinity in the twenty-first century (at
least, on Founder’s Day.)
Cost each: $2.00
Unit size: 1 Card with Envelope
