About this postcard

A snow-covered cottage, bare trees, and a small stone bridge over a stream make up a quiet winter scene. The image is a conventional holiday landscape, the kind of snowbound cottage view that early twentieth-century Christmas cards often used to carry seasonal wishes. This card was postmarked in Minneapolis on Christmas Eve 1915 and sent to a local household, with a handwritten wish for a merry Christmas and happy New Year to all.
