Description:
Beautiful antique New Year postcard featuring one of the most recognizable themes of the postcard era: Father Time ushering in the New Year beside an elegant young woman. A large clock face marks the passing year while a booklet labeled "Resolutions" descends from an hourglass above a holly-bordered calendar displaying "Jan. 1st."
The card showcases the vibrant colors, detailed illustration, and decorative embossing that made Samuel Schmucker and John Winsch postcards highly collectible during the Golden Age of American postcards.
