1909 Baby Jesus and Mother Mary

Radiating warmth and devotion, this 1909 “Happy Christmas” postcard captures the serene beauty of the season with a tender image of the Virgin Mary cradling the baby Jesus. Set within a luminous circular frame gilded in gold, the sacred scene rests against a textured backdrop resembling a white brick wall—giving the impression of a cherished fresco or ancient icon discovered in a quiet chapel.

Delicate holly leaves and berries surround the central image, offering a nod to traditional holiday symbolism, while a pair of golden bells suspended by a ribbon ring in the spirit of Christmas from a small inset in the upper left corner. The phrase “Happy Christmas,” written in an illuminated script at the lower left, evokes the elegant typography of the Edwardian era.

This exquisite vintage 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.
