Text on Card
Hi There! It's CHRISTMAS
Description
A jolly Santa Claus with an exuberant expression and distinctive wide-eyed enthusiasm dominates this charming Art Deco-era Christmas greeting card. He wears his traditional red coat with white fur trim and black belt with gold buckle, carrying a sack of toys over his shoulder that contains a delightful vignette of a cherub-like child surrounded by candy canes and holly sprigs, creating a whimsical scene within a scene. The upper text reads 'Hi There!' with 'Yes CHRISTMAS' in flowing script, while the lower border displays wrapped gift boxes adorned with holly and ribbon, reinforcing the festive gift-giving theme. The bold blue background and white horizontal bands frame the composition in classic period style.
