Christmas Greetings

Description

Bundled in a forest-green coat with white fur trim and a red winter cap, a rosy-cheeked child stands at a snow-frosted doorway in this charming Victorian-era Christmas greeting card. The youngster carries a basket of holly in one arm with a sealed envelope tucked in hand, and holds additional holly branches in the other hand, embodying the spirit of holiday gift-giving and seasonal correspondence. A small brown and white dog accompanies the child, adding companionship to this tender winter scene. Falling snow visible through the doorway completes this quintessentially nostalgic Christmas tableau.
