A well-aged, image dominant, Christmas-themed postcard. This card depicts a gorgeous beach with a tall semi-realistic, semi-abstracted tree in the foreground with red flowers growing up its roots. The background is even more abstracted and depicts the rest of this tropical gulf. In its water, which is surrounded by a lush forest dotted with palm trees, reflects a vibrant sunset. The rest of the card is adorned with a poem and a segment of type stating, “MERRY CHRISTMAS.” The printing company and designer of this postcard is unknown. This postcard was shipped by the United States post office in 1921. The condition of the card consists of a natural aging of the paper and a crease on the bottom right corner. There are also various stains and faded stamp marks.
