1911 When Holly Wore Pink

There’s a special kind of magic in children's faces at Christmas, and this 1911 illustrated portrait postcard captures it perfectly. A young girl with golden curls and clear blue eyes gazes sweetly from beneath a pale pink bonnet trimmed with holly leaves and berries. Her cheeks are rosy with winter’s chill, and she holds a small sprig of holly as if to offer you a bit of the season’s joy. The soft pink of her dress and the gentle snow-dusted village behind her create a scene that feels like a cherished memory brought to life. “A Merry Christmas” is written in graceful script at the top, and the embossed and gilded details add a quiet shimmer to this tender image.

This embossed 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.
