Poinsettias and a child dominate this vintage Christmas postcard, a holiday card design that was popular in the early twentieth century, when color lithography made cheap, cheerful greetings widely available. Cards like this were often mailed between relatives and friends during the season, and the sentimental pairing of children with seasonal flowers was a common motif of the era. The poinsettia itself, a plant native to Mexico, had only become a fixed part of American Christmas decorating in the decades before the card was printed. The board lists this piece under food and drink, which is a loose fit for a holiday greeting, so its inclusion here is best read as a matter of cataloguing rather than subject.
