1908 Embossed Christmas Postcard Children Decorating Tree Red Cross Stamp 7143

This charming vintage Christmas postcard from 1908 features a beautifully embossed scene of two children joyfully decorating a small Christmas tree outdoors in a snowy winter setting. The girl, dressed in a red bonnet and apron, hangs bright red ornaments while the boy carefully places apples and pretzels from a basket. A softly glowing star tops the tree, adding to the nostalgic holiday ambiance. The background shows a rustic wooden fence and snow-covered cottage, enhancing the warm, timeless appeal. Printed in Germany, this original postcard is a fine example of early 20th-century holiday ephemera, produced using relief embossing techniques that give it a distinctive tactile quality. The reverse bears the American National Red Cross Christmas seal.
