EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming early 20th century Christmas card features a smiling Chinese man, dressed in traditional attire, surrounded by the festive colors of the holiday season. The man wears a yellow hat adorned with a red pom-pom and a black band, and his long, plaited pigtail, or "que," is tied with a gold ribbon. His round, rosy cheeks and warm smile radiate joy and merriment, making him an unexpected yet delightful addition to the Christmas scene. The card's background is a vibrant collage of red, green, and gold, reminiscent of the rich, colorful style of Chinese art. The use of these colors and the man's traditional Chinese attire reflect the Oriental influence that was popular in Western culture during the early 1900s. Despite the passage of time, this card remains a testament to the universal spirit of the holiday season, bringing people of all backgrounds and cultures together in celebration. The smiling Chinese man serves as a reminder that Christmas is a time for joy, love, and connection, transcending cultural boundaries and uniting us all in the spirit of the season.
