Few New Year cards put a Bible story at the center, but this one shows Pharaoh's daughter finding the infant Moses among the reeds, a scene from Exodus 2. Postcards like this were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrated cards were mailed in large numbers for holidays and special greetings. Pairing a religious narrative with a seasonal wish was a common way to make a card feel both festive and respectable. Look closely at how the artist frames the riverbank and the figures' gestures, which carry the story's sense of rescue and new beginnings into the greeting.
