Rosh Hashanah greeting cards, circa 1900-1984

Contains small to medium-sized fold-out pop-up cards and two-dimensional greeting cards. The smaller three-dimensional pop-up cards feature many of the same motifs as the larger versions: ships, floral decoration, birds, the blessing of children, meals featuring traditional New Year's sweet foods, life cycle events, religious rituals, and images of various modes of transportation. Also included are images of religious symbols, such as the Ten Commandments and Jewish high priests. Of note are a small number of mock checks issuing 365 days of health, wealth, and happiness for the New Year. Also included is a 1929 booklet containing an advance showing of sample Rosh Hashanah cards available for purchase, likely used as a salesman's sample.
