Cartoon of policeman being run over by a vintage motor vehicle
Pip pip Christmas card

This card is from the Decorative Art collection at National Museums Liverpool
Text on card reads: ‘A Happy Christmas be yours Pip pip’
Printed text inside: ‘When a cow meets a train that’s resolved to dash through,
It generally proves rather “bad for the coo.”
When a Bob sees a motor and thinks he can stop her,
It likewise appears rather “bad for the copper”:
Poor Robert in helm and immaculate clothes,
Becomes a mere bundle of bruises and woes.
I hope such encounters may not be your fate,
But your Christmas be grand and your running be great.
A.L.S.
A Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year’
Collection: Read Thompson collection of Christmas cards 1880 to 1900
Accession number: 50.30.486
