Lead with the figure on the tablets: this postcard shows a robed man holding a pair of inscribed stone tablets, a visual shorthand for the Ten Commandments, set on a card meant to carry Hebrew New Year wishes. That pairing is what sets it apart from the other pictures on this board, which share the commandments theme but are not holiday greetings. Rosh Hashanah cards of this kind were widely mailed in the early 1900s, when picture postcards were a popular and inexpensive way to send seasonal messages. Designers often drew on biblical imagery like the tablets to link the new year with covenant, law and renewal. Look closely at the lettering and border, which often mix Hebrew text with decorative English wording.
