1911 Old Christmas-time by Winsch

Step into the gentle world of Christmas past, when holiday wishes were sent with care and treasured as keepsakes. This 1911 postcard captures the warmth and sentiment of that time with its richly detailed design and poetic grace. Artist signed by Winsch, a name beloved among collectors for evocative, high-quality imagery. This is a classic example of the Golden Age of Postcards.

Embossed and gilded, the illustration features three elegant songbirds perched among snow-dusted holly branches, accented by vibrant red berries and two hanging bells that chime with quiet festivity. The heart of the card is its verse, written in illuminated script with delicate flourishes that recall medieval manuscripts. It reads:

Old Christmas-time is here once more,
So here’s a wish from me,
Sent in remembrance as of yore,
That happy your’s may be.
– Clifton Bingham

Just below, in equally graceful script, the sentiment continues: With Best Christmas Wishes.
