Sent from somewhere in Plumas County, California in December 1911, this richly embossed and gilded Christmas card carries the warmth of a family update tucked into its holiday greeting — dear little details of a child named "Clara" and news of a pending wedding fill the cramped but legible correspondence side, addressed to "Mrs. Geo. Mawer" at the Spanish Ranch in Plumas County. The front is a lush, gilt-framed winter village scene surrounded by embossed holly boughs heavy with red berries and two vivid red poinsettias, the whole framed against a warm cream ground — a card of genuine visual richness typical of the Edwardian chromolithograph peak. A 1-cent Franklin or Washington green stamp franks the upper right corner, postmarked from what appears to be "Greenville" or similar Plumas County postmark dated December 1911.
