1910 Dog-roses Delight at Christmas

When you choose this 1910 postcard, you’re embracing a quieter, more reflective kind of Christmas, the kind filled with handwritten wishes, the rustle of evergreens, and the gentle beauty of nature in winter’s calm. This beautiful card captures that gentle spirit with a peaceful landscape and thoughtful botanical symbolism woven into its design.

At the center, a softly flowing creek winds through bare winter trees, the stillness of the scene inviting calm and reflection. It’s framed in a rich red and gold border that adds a festive yet elegant touch, like a ribbon on a cherished gift.

To the right, a lush sprig of holly with vibrant red berries is paired with delicate dog roses, those soft white blossoms that have long symbolized pleasure and simple joy. In Victorian times, the Dog-rose was a favored choice for romantic gestures, while folklore held it as a protector against evil spirits and a bringer of good fortune. Paired with holly, symbolizing protection and goodwill, these blooms deepen the card’s quiet, heartfelt message.

“Christmas Happiness Be Yours” is written in a graceful light blue script, its message simple, sincere, and timeless. Embossed and gilded, this card is a lovely example of early 20th-century design that still speaks to the heart.

This 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.
