1913 En Plein Air Winter Pastoral

This charming 1913 antique embossed penny postcard features delicate gilding and a heartfelt Christmas greeting: “A Happy Christmas - May there be within thy dwelling Love and God’s own sunshine still.” Winter pastoral scenes like this were highly cherished during the Edwardian period, reflecting the era’s appreciation for En Plein Air nature painting, a genteel pastime for the leisure classes. As the popularity of “Sunday painters” grew, so did the collection of these beautifully framed winter pastoral postcards. This piece is a perfect addition to any vintage postcard collection, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
