About this postcard

A Christmas greeting postcard showing an ornate plate with a small landscape scene of a stone bridge over water, a yellow bowl, a green pitcher, and sprigs of holly. The printed greeting reads "HEARTY GREETING" above and "WISHING YOU A MERRY XMAS" below. The arrangement is a typical early-20th-century holiday still life combining tableware with Christmas greenery.
