Description: This charming antique postcard, dated 1914, features a delightful Christmas scene on the front. Santa Claus, in his classic red suit, stands beside a child's bed, holding a doll as he surprises a waking child. A sack of toys and a drum are visible near the bed, adding to the festive atmosphere. "Best Christmas Wishes" is printed below the illustration. The back of the postcard shows it was mailed from "SPRINGFIELD MASS" on "DEC 23 30P" (presumably 1914, matching the front). It was addressed to "Miss Alliceia [spelled as Alliceia in handwriting] Jenks, Ludlow Street, Springfield, Mass." There are additional handwritten scribbles and marks on the back. The card is part of "SERIES 444/B" and states "PRINTED IN GERMANY." This is a lovely piece of holiday ephemera, perfect for collectors of vintage Christmas cards, Santa Claus imagery, or early 20th-century mailed postcards.
