Father Christmas
Father Christmas, dressed in brown, is pictured in the lower left of the card. He carries a walking stick in his left hand and toys at his belt and in the bag over his back. His back is turned so he faces an expanse of a snowy path, cabin, and mountains before him. The hill which he is walking is white with snow, while it is also coming down upon the mountains and forest in the background. In a box in the lower right there is the printed message "With best Wishes for Christmas" followed by To: "you all" and From "The whole Hamilton family".
