Christmas and Sympathy Photographic Cards
It was very traditional among photographers to produce special occasion cards using original works of art, often contemporary to the time of production. These were produced in limited numbers and sent to selected friends and colleagues. Below is a small selection of original cards by Joseph McKenzie, often including an original humorous greeting.
