About this postcard
A Christmas greeting card built around a small inset view of a snow-covered village at sunset: white cottages and a church tower stand behind a frozen pond or stream that mirrors the red and orange sky. The inset is framed by a scalloped gold border and surrounded by large embossed holly leaves with red berries, with further holly sprays running along gold-banded green strips at the top and bottom. The printed greeting reads "Christmas Greetings." The sender's pencil note reports, "well I got here all right all well," a plain travel update that turns the card into a small piece of everyday correspondence.
