Greeting Cards - Collection of 32 greeting cards with fabric appliqués, chromolithographed, some with embossed or die-cut designs. Germany, France (Chocolaterie Poulain), Spain, ca. 1900. Each approx. 11–14 x 8–9 cm. In clear sleeves. Many bear contemporary inscriptions, and some are also dated. One of the cards is likely unique and features a handwritten motto signed by the prominent Spanish writer Benito Pérez Galdós (1843–1921; undated here). The black fabric appliqué of a rooster with a comb and feet, rendered in a colored pen-and-ink drawing, refers to the recipient’s name and may have been designed by Galdós himself. - In good condition.
