Two children and the words "With Best Wishes" make up this vintage Christmas card, a small greeting meant to be sent or tucked into a letter. Cards like this grew popular in the later 19th century, once printers could produce colorful lithographs cheaply, and images of childhood were a common choice. Children made a favorite motif because they suggested innocence, family warmth, and the hope of the season. The lettering and printing details often show how much care went into a card that was usually sent once and then kept in a scrapbook or drawer.
