A winged angel holding a spray of white lilies sets this postcard apart from the other holiday greetings on the board, and the printed words A Merry Christmas place it in the winter season, even though lilies are more often associated with Easter. Lilies have long stood for purity and were tied to the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel told Mary she would bear a child, so the pairing draws on religious imagery that many viewers would recognize. Illustrated greeting cards like this one were especially popular in the early twentieth century, when cheap postage made it easy to send a seasonal wish to friends and family.
