A cherubic baby, representing the New Year, swings from a large clock with Roman numerals, set to 11:55. The clock is adorned with a decorative border. The text reads, "A HAPPY NEW YEAR" in an ornate font, and a poem: "When the clock strikes twelve, 'mid noise and cheer, I'll come to wish you a Happy New Year!" The card was mailed in 1922.
