"A Merry Christmas," 1910

Summary

Mailing colorful, commercially designed greeting cards was a 20th-century American tradition. During the holidays, friends and neighbors commonly exchanged cards wishing the recipient a merry Christmas or happy New Year. Sometimes, as with this example, holiday cards combined seasonal decoration with contemporary, non-traditional imagery.
