About this postcard
The image shows a red-suited, white-bearded Santa Claus standing in falling snow, a sprig of holly over his shoulder, pulling a small figure from a bulging brown sack of toys. A drum, ball, battledore, and horn lie at his feet. Below, a snow-covered village with a church spire sits beside a lake and mountains under a golden sky. Santa's red suit and sack of toys follow the American image popularized by Thomas Nast and the German-printed Christmas cards common in the early 1900s.
