1920 Christmas Greetings From Idaho

This vintage postcard is a rare blend of adventure and festivity, offering a uniquely regional twist on holiday cheer. Featuring two beautifully rendered scenes from early 20th-century Idaho, it captures the landscape's drama and the season's warmth.

The top image, framed in black with ornate borders, shows a striking moonlit view of the Snake River. A small boat cuts through the water, “shooting the rapids” under a glowing full moon. The text beneath reads “MOONLIGHT ON SNAKE RIVER” and “SHOOTING THE RAPIDS,” anchoring the scene in place and time. To the left, a classic holiday wreath adorned with the words “MERRY CHRISTMAS” and “GREETINGS FROM IDAHO” adds a festive flourish, turning a dramatic wilderness moment into a heartfelt seasonal greeting.

The bottom panel contrasts the moonlit mystery above with the daylight power of Milner Dam and Falls, Idaho. The dam's cascading water and solid structure are rendered soft, celebrating the state’s natural beauty and engineering pride.

Together, the two scenes offer a striking and nostalgic tribute to Idaho’s wild and wondrous landscapes, with a touch of Christmas spirit woven in.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift or stocking stuffer, a unique holiday decoration, or an excellent addition to any collection.
