This Christmas card was designed by Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo in 1909. It features a design of a holly wreath surrounding a shield in green, red and mauve with the ink inscription A H & E M XMAS 1909. The initials refer to Mackmurdo and his wife Eliza Mackmurdo, née Carte. The couple most likely produced this card to send to their friends and family over Christmas.
