Glittering gold mica dust clings to the snow-laden roof of a stone Gothic chapel, its jewel-toned stained-glass window ablaze with a painted poinsettia, while a real red silk ribbon bow — still intact after more than a century — crowns the top of this exquisite embossed Christmas card, its tactile luxury a testament to the craftsmanship of early twentieth-century greeting card production. The verse reads: "Tho' my cheery little Christmas Card / Is neither large nor new, / It is packed to all four corners / With good wishes, just for You." Postmarked Catskill, New York, December 18 (year partially legible, likely 1910s), the card was sent by Ellen to George and family in West Catskill — a short journey across Greene County by post. Published by J.P., N.Y., and made in the United States, this card exemplifies the domestic luxury greeting card market that flourished before World War I reshaped transatlantic trade.
