A delightful Edwardian novelty — a woman in full traditional Welsh costume (tall stovepipe hat, white cap, striped flannel apron, dark shawl, knitting in hand) stands before a spinning wheel, captioned "Our little Welsh friend at Beddgelert," and concealed beneath her skirt is a pull-out accordion strip of miniature black-and-white photographic views of the surrounding Snowdonia landscape: Snowdon from Llyn Llydau, Aberglaslyn Bridge, Gelert's Grave, Snowdon Last Half-Mile, Llewellyn's House, and the Llewellyn Hotel. This format — a "hold-to-light" or "pull-out" novelty card — was enormously popular in the 1900s as a souvenir of tourist destinations, and Beddgelert, the legendary resting place of Gelert the faithful hound, was a prime Welsh tourist honeypot. The reverse is densely written in a flowing hand by "Alice," recounting a 105-mile drive through the Welsh countryside, castles, and moorland, and expressing how much she has come to love Wales and how reluctant she is to leave.
