Vintage Christmas Greeting Card with Gold Bells and Holly

The three golden bells lead this composition in smug formation, hanging above a pile of holly, mistletoe, and what appears to be a truly alarming number of loose red berries that have simply given up and scattered across the lower half of the card like tiny festive tumbleweeds. These bells themselves are engraved with decorative banding and dangle from little gold rings, radiating the kind of 'I am both ornamental AND functional' energy that defined the Edwardian personality disorder. Copyrighted in 1907 by The International Art Publishing Company of New York and credited to artist Ellen H. Clapsaddle, this card has the audacity to simply write 'Christmas Greeting' in plain brown text beneath all this botanical chaos, as if three oversized metallic bells surrounded by aggressively pointy holly leaves needed zero further explanation.
