Santa Claus Vintage 1907-1915 New Year Postcard by Frances Brundage Tuck's 601

This charming vintage New Year postcard dates from the Divided Back era (1907-1915) and features classic artwork by renowned illustrator Frances Brundage. The scene depicts a sweet child in a nightgown holding a red pouch, standing in front of a green curtain with a whimsical Santa Claus peeking through, symbolizing the arrival of January 1st. A holly wreath adorns the upper right corner with the date "January 1" and the greeting "A Happy New Year" is written in red script at the bottom right. Produced by Raphael Tuck & Sons, a prestigious British postcard publisher known for their high-quality lithographic prints, this card exemplifies early 20th century paper postcards. The design is rendered in soft, muted colors with delicate dot and line shading typical of lithographic printing methods. Measuring the standard size of approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this original postcard is part of Tuck's "New Year" series and is printed in Saxony, England.
