Documents: Holiday Greetings

Personalized Christmas cards showcase the creative talent of Old Lyme’s artists, many of whom painted, drew, or printed original designs each year to convey messages of holiday cheer. Harry L. Hoffman and his family received these remarkable holiday greeting cards, each a hand-crafted work of art, from friends and colleagues. His own holiday card offers a tropical image to brighten the winter season.
