About this postcard

A blue-and-white large-letter greeting for Waltham, Massachusetts. The block letters are filled with tiny halftone portraits of women's faces, and a floral spray frames a white oval at the bottom. The sender's handwritten message reads "Merry Christmas" on the front and "Yours Forever" on the back.
