Step softly into a tender Christmas moment from 1916 with this embossed and gilded postcard, signed by the beloved Ellen H. Clapsaddle. A draling child in nightclothes walks gently, carrying a bouquet of mistletoe and a gift tied with a bright red ribbon—symbols of holiday love and giving. The muted tones and soft illustration style evoke the warmth of a candlelit Christmas Eve, when hopes were handwritten and joy came wrapped in simple gestures.
The charming greeting reads:
“MY CHRISTMAS WISH
All that gives you pleasure
May this Christmas bring
Good Luck without measure
To your footsteps cling.”
Clapsaddle’s signature attention to detail and emotional depth shine through in this touching piece of holiday history, making it a heartfelt relic of the World War 1 era Christmas spirit.
This embossed 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.
