About this postcard

The card presents the opening lines of the Christmas hymn 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' in illuminated red and green lettering, framed by a gold star radiating light and sprigs of mistletoe with white berries. The greeting 'A Joyful Christmas' appears at the lower right. The hymn is traditionally associated with Charles Wesley's 1739 Christmas text.
