About this postcard

A Christmas greeting card built around an oval vignette of a snow-covered cottage with a red-tiled roof, a water wheel and bare winter trees beside a frozen pond at sunset, framed by sprigs of holly with red berries. The vignette hangs from a printed chain and tassel motif against a striped silver ground, all enclosed by a wide gold border with red ribbon corner pieces. Cards of this holly-and-cottage type were standard holiday greetings of the early 20th century, when embossed gold-stamped borders were a popular decorative treatment.
