Christmas Greetings

Description

Rendered in warm, detailed chromolithography, this charming Victorian-era Christmas greeting card presents an iconic imagery of Santa Claus in his classic blue velvet coat with gold trim, carrying an oversized gift sack brimming with toys and dolls. He also carries a snow-covered Christmas tree under one arm. The jolly figure wears a blue hat, not a tall white hat adorned with holly. The elegant script reads 'Christmas Greetings' at the top, typifying the refined greeting card tradition of the Victorian period.
