A Christmas greeting card built around an oval vignette of a snow-covered village with bare trees, a small church spire and low buildings, framed in gold rope molding. Surrounding the vignette are sprays of holly with red berries, a pink-and-white blossom, and a red panel, all set on a pale blue-and-white striped ground within a wide embossed gold border. The design is typical of the heavily embossed German-printed holiday cards that were widely exchanged in the early 20th century.
