Victorian Santa Claus Christmas Greeting Card with Holly Wreath

Santa Claus appears to be laboring under the impression that emerging from a holly wreath as a flat portrait circle floating in greenery is a dignified presentation — his magnificent white beard doing the heavy lifting while his red beret-adjacent hat sits on his head with the casual confidence of a man who peaked in 1902. The poem printed in red helpfully clarifies that this 'maker of toys' serves exclusively 'good girls and boys,' which raises uncomfortable questions about what Santa is doing to the bad ones that required a written disclaimer. The icicles dripping from the bottom of the holly wreath seem designed to add a charming 'your holiday joy is melting, just like everything else' energy that the designer absolutely did not intend but nailed anyway.
