Title

"Hearty Christmas Wishes" Female Santa Claus Postcard

Description

This postcard is oriented vertically and has a white border around all sides. To the center right stands a woman wearing a red Santa coat with a hood, red gloves, and black boots. Her back faces the right side of the card and a green ribbon blows in the wind in front of her to hold her hood closed around her face. The hood is trimmed by white fur, as are the hems on the coat. A black belt with a gold buckle is about her waist. Her auburn hair blows in the wind on the right side of her face toward the left side of the postcard. She looks out at the viewer and has bright red lips forming a slightly open-mouthed smile. Her hands, wearing the red gloves, clutch a large tan bag in front of her to the left side of the postcard. The bag is full of toys and sits on the ground at her feet. Behind her are three areas of gold colored decoration. On the left side of the card, near the center, it reads "Hearty Christmas Wishes" in gold, silver, red, and green script.
