A Christmas greetings postcard built around a portrait of a young girl, with sprigs of holly framing the design, stands apart from the usual sleigh-and-snow cards on this board. Holiday postcards like this were produced in large numbers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when sending a card had become a cheap and popular way to wish friends and family well during the season. Pairing a child's face with holly, a plant long linked to midwinter and the Christian festival, gave the card a sentimental warmth that buyers responded to. Look closely at the printing and the colors, which show how such cards were made before color photography was common.
