Moses stands at the center of this card, holding the two tablets of the Ten Commandments, a choice that ties a holiday greeting to one of the oldest scenes in the Hebrew Bible. Cards like this were a staple of the early twentieth century, when printers sold inexpensive illustrated postcards for New Year's wishes and used familiar religious imagery to suggest moral resolve for the year ahead. The pairing is worth noticing: a card meant to be sent quickly and tossed aside carried a figure associated with law and covenant, reflecting how closely secular holiday custom and church teaching sat together in that period.
