This collection consists of approximately 45 printed Christmas and New Year's greeting cards, most accompanied by their original postmarked envelopes from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s. The imagery features a diverse array of mid-century styles, including traditional religious scenes, winter landscapes, and charming animal illustrations like terriers and reindeer. Postmarks on the envelopes indicate origins from places such as Stroudsburg, Easton, Flushing, and Jersey City, with most addressed to Mary Alleger of Bartonsville, Pennsylvania. This single-recipient archive provides a cohesive look at holiday sentiments and graphic design during the pre-WWII and early war years. One notable card includes the handwritten message Here's making a bee-line to wish you a doggone Merry Christmas signed by Edith. Dimensions range from 4 x 5 inches to 5 x 7 inches.
