Laughing Elephant - Santa Claus Postcard Box - 36 Unique Vintage Holiday Postcards
36 postcards, each a unique design with a vintage postcard back with a dividing line and stamp box
Behold our exquisite collection of vintage holiday images hailing from the golden era of picture postcards, all paying homage to the jolly old fellow himself, Santa Claus! In the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the holiday season was synonymous with sending postcards! These cards were a canvas for an array of Santa images, each one as unique and captivating as the next. Inside this box, you'll uncover Santa, St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, and Père Noël, donning hues of red, blue, green, or even purple. You'll find them alongside reindeer, angels, and children, traveling in style on trains, cars, sleighs, or strolling along on foot. Discover an abundance of variations in this box, each a delightful piece of historical Christmas charm (even Uncle Sam makes an appearance)!
The Golden Age of Postcards, from the 1890s until World War I, witnessed an extraordinary surge in postcard collecting. This era saw the production, sale, and mailing of millions of postcards, and people acquired them simply for the sheer joy of ownership. These cherished cards found their place in carefully preserved albums or were exchanged among friends and family with the anticipation of receiving equally delightful ones in return. Essentially, postcards served as an affordable source of entertainment in nearly every American household. Visitors often marveled at the opulent postcard albums gracing parlors, living rooms, and sun porches. Beyond mere communication, picture postcards offered a vivid snapshot of American life, particularly during the initial decades of the 20th century. They were designed for every conceivable occasion, with a special emphasis on holidays!
