About this postcard

The card, captioned "A happy Christmas.", shows a golden-haired angel with white wings leaning from a starry blue roundel and holding a lit candle amid fir branches; below is a snowy landscape with a small church, while gold stars, bells, and pink ribbons ornament the border. Such brightly chromolithographed Christmas postcards were popular in the early 20th century.
