A cheerful Santa Claus stands beside a decorated evening tree with a heap of wrapped gifts at his feet, a scene that was a staple of American holiday postcards in the early twentieth century. Cards like this were mailed in large numbers during the Christmas season, when sending a printed greeting was a common way to reach relatives and friends who lived far away. The "Best Christmas Wishes" message set in the border reflects the sentimental style of the era, when chromolithographed and embossed cards were prized as small decorative keepsakes. Look closely at the colors and gilt-like accents, which show how printers of the period worked to make a modest card feel festive.
