Biplanes were a novelty subject for holiday postcards in the early twentieth century, and this card puts a Christmas greeting beside one of the flying machines that had only recently become part of everyday imagination. Greeting cards of this kind were mass-produced and mailed in large numbers during the holiday season, often with printed sentiments like the one here. Look at how the card blends the new technology of aviation with the older festive tradition of seasonal wishes, a pairing that reflects how quickly flight was capturing public interest.
