EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this delightful chromolithograph Christmas greetings postcard, dating back to circa 1907. The image captures the essence of the festive season with its depiction of a large Yule Log being pulled along on a wooden frame sled. The log, tied up with a bright red ribbon and adorned with a bow and holly leaves and berries, is the centerpiece of this charming scene. The Yule Log was an important tradition in many European cultures, symbolizing the continuity of life and the return of the sun. Families would bring in a large log, often decorated with holly and ivy, and keep it burning in the hearth throughout the twelve days of Christmas. This beautiful postcard, created by the skilled hand of Ellen H. Clapsaddle, captures the spirit of the season with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The snow-covered landscape, the frosty trees, and the cozy cabin in the background all add to the festive atmosphere. As we pull up the sled, we are reminded of the best wishes and merry greetings that this card would have brought to its recipient over a century ago. The red ribbon and bow on the Yule Log are a symbol of the joy and love that the holiday season brings to us all. This historical postcard is a wonderful reminder of the rich traditions and customs that have shaped our Christmas celebrations over the years. It is a perfect addition to any collection of vintage Christmas cards or a thoughtful gift for a loved one during the festive season.
