Postcard 1911 Christmas Dance Little Dolly Embossed P.F. Volland Chicago

Chicago, USA1911Pre-linenExcellent

A charming Edwardian-era Christmas postcard bursting with whimsy: a rosy-cheeked girl in a pink dress and oversized bow hat twirls beneath a holly wreath tied with a red ribbon, flanked by a green-clad elf and a seated blue doll beside a toy alphabet block. Published in 1911 by the celebrated P.F. Volland & Co. of Chicago — a firm renowned for quality greeting cards and children's books — this card carries the lilting verse "Dance, little Dolly, amid the bright holly…" in elegant gold and black lettering. The personal touch is all warmth: a "Miss Hanna" sent holiday cheer to two young girls named Adelaide and Katheryn, her looping cursive wishing them a "Merry Merry Christmas." The card was never postally used, preserving its embossed details and vivid color with exceptional freshness over 110 years.
