A "To Greet You" greeting card with an inset winter scene of a figure walking through snowy woods, framed by a gold border, with two red-breasted birds and embossed holly or evergreen sprays against a pale blue ground. The card belongs to the early 20th-century tradition of embossed holiday greeting postcards, when publishers used heavy relief stamping to imitate snow, lace, and foliage. The red-breasted birds resemble robins, a common greeting-card motif associated with spring and renewal.
