Object and Material: The postcard is a single, horizontal image, measuring approximately 14.8 x 10.2 cm (5.8 x 4 inches), with a white background that contrasts beautifully with the beige card and black text. The card's texture is a testament to the artisanal craftsmanship of the era, while the torn edge border adds a touch of rustic authenticity. 4.

The absence of commercial imagery or branding adds to the card's timeless appeal. 5. Historical Context: Dated 1943, this Christmas card was created during a pivotal moment in history. The Second World War was in full swing, and the spirit of community and connection was more important than ever.
