This lovely antique piece is a 1910 Christmas postcard featuring the classic holiday greeting "A Merry Christmas." The beautiful illustration shows three excited children peeking over a barrier decorated with evergreen garlands, with the center girl wearing large red hair bows while proudly holding a vintage porcelain-style doll dressed in blue, and the boy on the right holding a small toy horse on wheels.
The festive scene features a beautifully adorned Christmas tree background filled with glass ornaments, hanging bead garlands, and burning candles. The foreground and upper corners are framed with heavily sculpted green holly leaves and bright red winter berries.
This is a highly sought-after artist-signed postcard featuring the unmistakable signature of legendary illustrator Frances Brundage in the bottom right corner, complete with a front left copyright line reading "Design Copyright 1910 by Frances Brundage." The reverse belongs to the "Christmas" Series - Postcard No. 200 and was Printed in Germany.
Highly collectible for anyone specializing in Frances Brundage illustrations, historic holiday greetings, or early 20th-century toy memorabilia.
