The card depicts a painted illustration of a young girl in a pink winter hat and coat holding a white fur muff, standing beneath a sprig of holly as snowflakes fall. The divided back format emerged in March 1907 following changes to United States postal regulations, which allowed correspondence on the address side of postcards for the first time. This regulatory shift triggered the "Golden Age of Postcards," a period marked by massive domestic demand for holiday and seasonal greeting cards. Prior to 1914, the vast majority of high-quality color lithographic holiday cards were manufactured in Germany. German printing houses utilized advanced chromolithography techniques to produce richly colored, finely detailed cards that American and British publishers imported in massive bulk quantities. The outbreak of World War I abruptly severed these international trade routes and embargoed German imports. American publishers subsequently assumed domestic production to meet the ongoing demand, though early wartime output often lacked the refined color depth and precise registration established by the pre-war German presses. The historical context for this postcard is documented in the Smithsonian Institution Archives, "The Golden Age of Postcards"; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "History of Lithography and Greeting Cards"; and the United States Postal Service Postal History, "Postcard Regulations and Production". - Unposted Shipping and Handling: Carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival Shipped within one business day Tracking information provided Questions about this postcard?
