Father Christmas
The card's scene is monochrome except for the pink and green clothing of the little girls and doll that are pictured. Father Christmas is drawing water with a small barrel from a brick well. He is dressed in a dark coat and hat. Two little girls are with him; one stands on the rim of the well, wearing a pink dress and cap. The other little girl is dressed in mint green, standing on the opposite side. Along the rim of the well is a pair of wooden clogs as well as jewelry. At the bottom of the well, a large girl's doll is dressed in mint green, along with a toy cow and pig. "Joyeaux Noel" is printed in the upper right corner.

Father Christmas
The monochrome card depicts Father Christmas in a dark coat, pushing a sled of assorted gifts - including toys and what appears to be furniture. The background is the yard of a country house, with a well at its center. "Joyeux Noel" is printed near the top with handwriting underneath, and at the bottom, "Cette belle poupée est pour l'enfant bien sage / Qui m'ât-on dit était belle comme une image." Roughly in English this means 'This beautiful doll is for the child who was wise / Who I was told was beautiful as a picture.'
