The greeting 'A Merry Christmas' is prominently displayed, capturing the festive spirit of the early 20th century. The postcard is printed on a divided back, indicating it was produced between 1907 and 1915. The card was made in Germany, known for its high-quality postcard production during this era.

The back of the card includes a handwritten message: 'Dear little cousin I will drop you a card and wish you a Happy New year. Look out in the Claus he will bring you a load of fine things from Hellen Sprilich.' The card is addressed to Willie Pantrich in Wessington, South Dakota.
