1909 Children Play in the Snow by Clapsaddle

This exquisite vintage postcard, copyrighted in 1909 and postmarked in 1918, brings to life the joyful spirit of a snowy Edwardian Christmas. Illustrated by beloved artist Ellen Clapsaddle, the scene features four children bundled in bright winter attire, playfully romping around a snow-covered stone wall. Three wear cheery red hats or jackets, while one stands out in crisp white, adding visual charm to the festive scene. Scattered gifts hint at holiday excitement, while the snowy trees and soft greenery in the background evoke a quiet winter wonderland.

The phrase “Merry Christmas” is written in graceful cursive at the top, with a whimsical verse below: “Lads and lassies on they go, Romping gaily in the snow.” The mixed fonts and gentle color palette capture the playful elegance of early 20th-century illustration, and the soft embossing adds a delightful tactile quality to this heartwarming card.

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.
