Description

Vintage 1912 Embossed Christmas Postcard Holly & Winter Night Scene. This charming vintage Christmas postcard from 1912 features a beautifully embossed design with vibrant holly leaves and berries, set against a rustic scroll background. The focal image is a serene winter night scene depicting a snow-covered cottage and a church silhouetted under a glowing moonlit sky. The intricate embossing adds a tactile dimension, enhancing the card's antique appeal. Printed on standard size paper (5.5 x 3.5 inches), this original holiday postcard is a fine example of early 20th-century Christmas greetings. The back reveals a handwritten message, addressed to Mrs. Leon Paddack in Detroit, Michigan, and bears a clear postmark dated 1912 from Washington, D.C., along with a 1-cent green U.S. postage stamp. Collectors will appreciate the authentic period details, festive theme, and the well-preserved embossing technique that captures the warmth and nostalgia of the holiday season.
