The front features a charming illustration by Ellen H. Clapsaddle depicting a small blonde girl, bundled in a dark winter coat with a fur-trimmed hood and cuffs, standing in a snowy landscape with bare tree branches. She is holding a potted red poinsettia plant. Below the illustration, a festive poem reads: "Here's a girlie bright and pleasant Just received a Christmas present." The back includes a handwritten message for Christmas, postmarked December 18, 1916, from Bay Head, NJ. |
