About this postcard

A New Year's greeting card showing sprays of red poinsettias with green leaves against a grey panel, framed by gold rules and the word "GREETINGS" in a gold-outlined panel. The verse "With you and hours I'd share my happiness this New Year's Day" is printed in gold lettering at the left. Poinsettias, native to Mexico, became a standard winter holiday motif in American cards after the early twentieth century.
