A Merry Christmas
Image
Holiday postcard of two children. The boy is tooting a horn and the girl is playing a drum. They are both wearing folded paper sailor hats, and the boy wears a sailor suit and the girl a dress. Behind them, as if a picture on the wall, is a scene of an adult and a child walking down a snowy road towards a house and trees. The text: "A Merry Christmas" is between the children. The background is silver and the entire image is embossed. Chromolithograph. Printed in Germany.
1910
