"Merry Christmas to All," 1910
Add to SetSummary
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. Santa Claus, a regular feature, is sometimes depicted non-traditionally in scenes that reflect the time. When this 1910 example was published, airplanes were modern marvels.
