1905 Garden Wall at Christmas

There’s a hushed stillness in this 1905 Christmas postcard, the kind only a snowy landscape can hold. A snow-covered garden wall stretches across the scene, softened by a thick white layer of snow. It glows faintly against the heavily silver-gilded background, which catches the light and gives the entire card a luminous, frosty sheen.

Holly leaves and bright red berries are tucked into the snow along the wall, their sharp green leaves and vivid color offering a cheerful contrast to the cold stone and wintry sky. In the upper right, the message “Loving Christmas Wishes” is written in gilded script..

With its undivided back and early date, this card is a beautiful example of the subtle elegance and craftsmanship of turn-of-the-century holiday greetings—a perfect mix of stillness, sentiment, and seasonal glow.

This antique postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift or stocking stuffer, a unique holiday decoration, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
