An embossed postcard titled "A Peaceful Christmas" pairs Santa Claus with an angel, a combination that set it apart from the many plain Santa images on the Christmas board. Embossing gave the card a raised, textured surface, a finishing technique popular on holiday cards in the early twentieth century, when printers used heavy pressing to make colors and figures stand out. Cards like this were mailed as seasonal greetings, so the wish for peace in the title speaks to the sentiment people wanted to send to family and friends. Look closely at the relief in the figures and border to see the craftsmanship of the era.
