This Victorian trading card features a beautiful illustration of a country church winter scene. The church is situated on a small hill at the edge of a river. The card was printed to advertise a company named Bates & Roesch and includes the message: A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 
For additional creative options, here is a version of the card without the message.
