The Library’s Christmas card selection for 2025 is now available for purchase.
This year, we have gone retro, bringing back some of our most popular cards from previous years, and introducing a special new addition from our Hilda Quick collection.
Our first card shows children playing in a snowy Morrab Gardens just outside the library in the 1960s, an image from our historic Photo Archive collection. The emulsion damage to the negative serves to enhance the festive feel of this photo.
Our second is the lovely scene of the Richards family of Penzance and their friends stirring up the Christmas Pudding in 1934.
Next up, our own Harriet-Jade Harrow’s Christmas card of 2023, featuring the Morrab Gardens wildlife visiting the library.
And finally, we are delighted to introduce our new addition, a reproduction of a Christmas card designed and used by local artist Hilda Quick in 1949. Her beautiful woodblock engravings and paintings are held in the library’s archive.
