A gray warship steams through a snowstorm, with two small boats in the foreground, on this 1942 Christmas card by Julia Martin. The pairing of a holiday greeting with a naval scene reflects the wartime years, when many Christmas cards carried images of ships, sailors, and the home front. Cards like this one were often sent to servicemen overseas or to families waiting for news, so the image offered a little comfort alongside the season's greeting.
