Description

One (1) photographic postcard, sepia-toned has three children positioned in front of a decorated Christmas tree, which is adorned with ornaments and garlands. The young boy on the left is dressed in a coat, smiling with a toy in his hand, while the boy seated in the middle on a small chair appears to be in a gown. On the right, a girl wears a plaid dress and holds a doll in her left hand. The tree stands upon a table, with figures and other festive items and toys below it. The room is accented with framed portraits on the walls, and image of a Catholic male figure on the right and a family portrait of a woman and 2 children on the left. Handwritten under each child are names, but they are not legible. The back of the postcard has printed "POST CARD" at the top, with designated spaces for "Correspondence Here" on the left and "Name and Address Here" on the right, along with a guideline for placing a stamp in the upper right corner, marked by small symbols "VELOX" with 4 squares.
