Father Christmas Looks Down on Sleeping Child from Roof
Description
The card is split into two scenes by a holly vine. The top depicts Father Christmas on the snowy roof with the moon shining over his shoulder. He is dressed in brown and carries a full basket of toys on his back. He leans one arm against the chimney, and with the other he is holding evergreen branches. The bottom of the card depicts a sleeping long-haired, blonde child. Around her are toys including a doll and a rabbit playing a drum. The upper right of the card reads "Compliments of G.A. Schwarz, No 1006 Chestnut St. Philadelphia."
Santa Claus, in his red suit, is asleep in a green chair. A boy in yellow picks out a toy from his open bag. On either side are two shining candles, and below is the poem: "Merry Christmas I wish you, / Greetings, dear one, fond and true, / Joys and pleasures without end, / I couldn't wish you more, my friend."
Santa Claus peaks into the window of a sleeping child's room. The child is asleep underneath white covers and wears a white sleeping cap; the bedframe is wooden and the wallpaper has pastel flowers on it. The poem printed across the bedspread reads: "Do you sup- / pose that it's because / St. Nick is too considerate / To spoil your rest, that he will pause / Before he climbs your roof, peep, / To see if you are fast asleep?"
Santa Claus, in his bright red suit and pointed shoes, is pulling back the flowered curtain to a bed. Underneath the blue cover are two sleeping children, one blonde and one brown-haired. In the back right is a lit fireplace with stockings hanging on it. Santa's bag of toys is in front of the fireplace, and some of the toys are on the ground. "A Very Merry Christmas" is printed in the lower left.
