Antique 1911 New Year Postcard Embossed Winter Scene Holly Gold Gilt German

Description

View Antique 1911 New Year Postcard Embossed Winter Scene Holly Gold Gilt German with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This exquisite antique postcard from the early 20th century features a serene winter landscape set within a golden-bordered oval. The central image depicts a tranquil sunset over a frozen lake where figures are seen near a small boat and a snow-covered cottage. The scene is framed by vibrant green holly leaves with red berries and elegant gold-gilt corner accents, creating a rich, festive aesthetic typical of the era's high-quality holiday stationery. Produced by the International Art Publishing Co. and printed in Germany, this card showcases the superior lithography and embossing techniques of the Golden Age of Postcards. The texture is noticeably raised, particularly around the holly motifs and the decorative wax seal featuring a four-leaf clover for good luck. This piece carries a clear 1911 postmark from Centerville, Maryland, and a green one-cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp, adding significant historical character for collectors of Edwardian-era ephemera or winter-themed holiday art. Condition: Used. Category: Collectibles › Postcards & Supplies › Postcards › Non-Topographical Postcards.
