1909 Tender Holiday Greetings Illuminated Script Postcard

There’s a graceful stillness to this 1909 vintage Christmas and New Year card, one that invites quiet reflection as much as seasonal joy. Rendered in illuminated script and decorative fonts, the central message unrolls across a parchment-like scroll at the top:

“Peace and goodwill in your heart to-day,
Peace and goodwill in your home alway,
And the morning song of The New Year still
Tender and glad, be ‘Peace and Goodwill’.”

Beneath the scroll, a sprig of holly grounds the greeting in traditional imagery. In the lower right corner, “Xmas Best Wishes” appears in embossed script, completing the card with a touch of heartfelt cheer.
