The Yule Tide was an annual publication for Christmas !! This print was a freebie given when you bought a copy !!

I checked on approx. value but all it said was "minimal value" !! So I am thinking under $50. USD !!

I have looked and looked as well.  Can't find others. Just because there aren't any others available for value comparison on the internet/immediate sources doesn't make it worth thousands of dollars.  At the same time, items like this didn't survive over time real well which makes it unique.
