1913 Yule Love This Dutch Christmas
This charming 1913 vintage postcard features two children in traditional Dutch attire, rendered in a sweet, storybook style reminiscent of early 20th-century illustrations. Against a plain, off-white background, the colorful details of their clothing stand out beautifully. On the left, a girl in a green dress with floral embroidery and a classic white bonnet stands with her hands gently clasped. Opposite her, a boy in blue trousers and a green cap holds a bright bouquet of poinsettia-red flowers, a touching holiday gesture.
In the lower left corner, a small image of a candle beside a shoe is paired with the delightfully whimsical message: "I vish you to enchoy a grand Christmus big alreadty yet." The playful, phonetic spelling evokes the humor and charm of a Dutch accent as imagined in early American holiday cards—an endearing touch of folk character.
Notably, the postcard’s simple layout and muted printing reflect the impact of World War I, as ink shortages and rationing led to more restrained postcard designs. Yet even with its sparse composition, the card radiates warmth and festive cheer in its own quiet way.
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.
