Children at play on a sled, with a tree nearby, make this card a typical example of the early twentieth-century holiday postcard. Postcards carrying seasonal greetings became hugely popular in the United States and Europe around the turn of the century, when the postal service made it cheap to send a short message with a picture. Cards like this one often used bright chromolithographed colors, sentimental scenes of childhood, and simple wishes printed in ornamental lettering. Looking closely, you can see how such designs framed winter as a time of home, play and family gathering.
