Edward Penfield's 1922 color poster titled *Greetings* stands out in this winter group for its pairing of a horse-drawn sleigh with a couple, a scene that recalls the sleigh ride as a favorite holiday pastime. Penfield was one of the most recognized American poster and magazine illustrators of the early 1900s, known for flat shapes, bold outlines, and a clear, graphic sense of design. Posters like this one were often made to carry seasonal wishes, and they show how commercial art of the 1920s borrowed the look of a printed greeting card while reaching a broad public.
