Did Windows revoke your access for the privilege in that card?

Well my Laptop was 'borrowed' short term, well that is what I thought.

"Summerly's Home Treasury Office," where the card was published, is now an Omega watches boutique! https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/store/storedetails/3552

 

Some interesting background on the card:

Quote

 

The idea had come from Sir Henry Cole, the first director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, who, overwhelmed with the volume of correspondence he was receiving, conceived it as answer to his problem, allowing him to send Christmas greetings to a wide group of people – all at once.

He asked his friend, artist John Callcott Horsley, to design the card and an edition of 1,000 were printed by Jobbins of Warwick Court in Holborn.

The hand-coloured card, published by Summerley’s Home Treasury Office in Old Bond Street, showed a family gathered for a Christmas celebration with two side images showing people engaged in charitable acts and a message, ‘A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You’. Designed as a single flat card (not foldable like they are today), it came complete with ‘To’ and ‘From’ spaces for the sender to fill in.
