Roseliep, Raymond
Christmas Postcards
Santa Claus
This postcard is vertically oriented. It has a thick border around all sides of holly leaves, vines, and berries in gold and red. Inside the border is a 3D impression of a small pine tree in a pot with a pale blue bow around it. After the 2nd tier of leaves on the tree from the top is a pale blue bow. On either side of the trunk of the tree is the phrase "A Merry Christ-mas." The tree itself is a pale purple gradient. On the right side of the inner portion of the card is a thin, small piece of pale blue thread. When pulled, the inner part of the postcard opens to reveal Santa Claus in a red, white-fur-lined coat and hat with blue pants and black boots and a brown belt about his middle. Santa is seen placing a gold ball ornament on a small evergreen tree already decorated with a variety of ornaments. The tree stands on a table with a white tablecloth and a few ornaments and toys under it. The side of the white tablecloth may have been meant to read "A Merry Christmas," but all that is visible on the postcard is "A M Chri."

Santa Claus
This postcard has a thick, gold, textured border around all sides. The inner portion of the postcard has a border of 3D imprinted purple and green gradient holly leaves with red holly berries. Inside of this border, gold script reads "A Merry Christmas." Below this is a space where a white imprint reads "From" and allows an individual to write a name. This inner portion of the postcard can also be pulled open to reveal a sort of Santa Claus hold up. In the scene, three girls with golden hair and wearing white footie pajamas work to take Santa's bag of toys. Each of the girls wears a black mask over their eyes, trying to conceal their identity. Two of the girls on the left side of the picture are dragging his bag of toys past large drapes and a mantelpiece decorated with a holly plant. The third girl holds two small pistols on Santa Claus and stands on a red footstool. Behind her is a large Christmas tree decorated with candles, red beads, and gold ornaments. On the right side of the card is Santa Claus with both of his hands up in the air and a surprised expression on his face. He wears his red suit with white-fur-lined details, a thick brown belt about his middle, and black boots that extend up to his knees. He sits in a large, brown, cushioned chair.
