1912 Sleigh Ride Illuminated Script Christmas Postcard
1912 vintage Christmas postcard. An elegant card with a bisque white background. At the top is a snowy pastoral of a horse-drawn sleigh and two passengers. Trees are silhouetted against the red, wintery dusk sky, and a small cottage in the distance. On each side of the pastoral are sprigs of holly and red berries. Beneath this vignette is an elegantly presented illuminated manuscript that reads:
Oh, the glossy green
of the holly leaf,
And the gleam of its scarlet berry,
'Tis that every soul of my Christmas wish,
That thy heart be blithe and merry!
