1913 Christmas Greetings Postcard Tuck's Holly Berries Poem Vintage. This original 1913 Christmas postcard features a charming vintage design with holly leaves and bright red berries surrounding a festive poem printed on a parchment-like background. The greeting reads, "Sing, oh, sing this blessed Morn; Unto us a CHILD is born... JESUS Christ to-day is born," in ornate black and red lettering, embodying the classic Christmas hymn style popular in the early 20th century. The card's artistic style and typography reflect the Edwardian era's holiday sentimentality. Published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, a renowned British postcard publisher, this postcard is part of the "Christmas Hymns" series (No. 514), a collectible set known for quality printing and faithful royal appointments. The back is postmarked from Sioux City, Iowa, dated December 22, 1913, with a 1-cent green George Washington U.S. postage stamp, adding historical postal value. The handwritten message and addressed recipient add to its authenticity and charm. A beautiful piece for collectors interested in vintage Christmas ephemera, early 1900s postcards, or holiday-themed memorabilia.
