Historical information

Legacy raised funds from the sale of Christmas cards for many years.
In 1961 the cards were:
Captain Sturt's voyage down the Murray, 1829, by William Rowell (price was for up to 25 at 2/- each, 26 to 50 1/9 each, 51 to 200 1/6 each.)
The Return from Egypt, by Judith Perrey (1/3 each)
Happy Landing (1/3 each)
The Wise Men (10d each)
The Landing of Captain Cook at Botany Bay, by Phillips Fox (1/- each)
Swanston St, Melbourne 1961, by Henry Burn (1/3 each)
Yuletide Visit (1/- each)
To the South there is a Great Land by Zoffany, 1771 (6d. each)
Christmas Joybells (9d. each)
The Star of Bethlehem (woodcut) by Ruth Barker (1/-)
The subject of some of the cards might seem dated, especially those featuring the colonisation of Australia by the British.
The order form and cards were part of a scrapbook of Legacy material, mostly promotional material, from the 1960s to 1990s.
