Two elegantly dressed Edwardian children — a girl in a fur-trimmed copper coat and a boy in a military-style hat blowing a horn — stand beside a wooden sled in a snowy winter landscape while a third child in yellow romps toward them in the middle distance, all framed by a lush embossed holly-and-berry arch bearing the golden legend "With Best Wishes" in this richly chromolithographed holiday card that captures the sentimentality and craftsmanship of the Golden Age of postcards. The embossed red berries are raised and vivid, the pine trees hand-tinted in soft greens, and the rosy sunset sky behind the arch lends the scene warmth against the snow. Sent in 1910 from Chester, Illinois, to a Miss identified only as a first name beginning "Chru—" in Carlinville, Illinois, the message on the back — written in a flowing cursive hand — wishes "a merry Xmas and a happy new year" and is signed with an affectionate first name. The one-cent green Benjamin Franklin stamp (Scott #331 or similar) ties neatly to the Chester, IL machine cancel dated 1910, making this a fully documented holiday social artifact. The card is from the "Children Series No. 1," a common Edwardian embossed greeting series.
