About this postcard
A New Year's greeting places an oval winter scene at its center: a snow-covered cottage beside a stone bridge, a horse and figure on a snowy road, and a sunset sky. An icy border with holly and red poinsettia blossoms frames the vignette, and the lettering reads 'A Happy New Year.' The design reflects the early 20th-century fashion for illustrated holiday postcards, which often paired idealized snow scenes with formal greetings. The message wishes the recipient every joy the New Year brings, and that she live to enjoy many of them.
