A New Year greeting card with an oval vignette of a snow-covered cottage beside a stone bridge, a horse and figure on a snowy road, and a sunset sky, framed by icy embossed edges, holly, and red poinsettia blossoms. The ornate lettering reads "A Happy New Year." The scene evokes a traditional early-20th-century winter holiday greeting.
