Color: Black; Blue; Green; Red; Yellow
A Christmas card with an image of the Three Wise Men, ca. 1913. This image is at the top of the light blue colored card, with the three dressed in bright colors and sitting upon camels. The one at the lower right points to a large star shining in a starry, black night. In the distance is a silhouette of Bethlehem, while leaves of green palm trees flank the Wise Men. Below this is the printed message "Christmas / Greetings / There's a Long, Long Trail / to the Land O'Dreams / Where the / tenderest Memories are. / And the friends of old / grow dearer yet, / In the light / of the Christmas Star!" On the reverse at one edge is the handwritten message, in black ink, "Miss Maud Bartlett / from C Edward Johnson." At the bottom of a second edge is the printed inscription "1046 / Rust Craft, Boston, U. S. A." Except for wear at the corners and edges, the card is in good condition with no indication of other wear or damage.Lexicon
