Nash was a noted American postcard publisher in the early 1900s, known for richly embossed holiday and patriotic series. This card belongs to the Christmas Series No. 47 , which featured angels, nativity, and festive toy-giving scenes. The Washington-Franklin 1¢ stamp was the standard U.S. domestic postcard rate beginning in 1908, helping us date the card to the early 1910s. The popularity of angel imagery in Edwardian postcards reflected both religious devotion and the era’s fascination with sentimental, uplifting themes. 📏 Size: Standard postcard size, approx. 3.5” x 5.5”. ✨ Condition: Very good antique condition with light age-related wear. Colors remain bright and vibrant; embossing is strong. Some light corner/edge wear consistent with being mailed over 110 years ago.
