Table of Contents
The stories of Christmas are told through vintage postcards featuring Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, and Father Christmas. More than 150 colorful illustrations grace the pages of this book, recounting the celebrated holiday from traditional festivities in England to the influence Germans had on the holiday in a young America. The collection of artwork creates a seamless journey from country to country, offering timeless masterpieces that provide glimpses into the history of Christmas. In this continuation of her previous book by Pelican, Christmas Past, the author explores Christmas from its early development to the 20th century, focusing on the traditions of revelry, feasting, and Santa Claus as depicted in the illustrations of yesteryear. The beautiful artwork features postcards from the 1900s to the 1940s, recalling the wholesome holidays of simpler times.
