EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful turn-of-the-century holiday tradition comes to life in this charming postcard image. The scene depicts Santa Claus, dressed in his classic red suit with a touch of green and gold, delivering a Christmas cheque from the Happiness Bank. The cheque, numbered 24 and signed with a festive "Xmas" signature, is accompanied by a sprig of holly for good measure. The Happiness Bank, a playful spoof on the financial institutions of the time, adds a whimsical touch to the holiday season. The cheque, rather than being a means of monetary exchange, is a symbol of joy and happiness, delivered directly to the recipient by the jolly old elf himself. The postcard's border is adorned with intricate holiday designs, further emphasizing the festive spirit of the moment. The image is a delightful reminder of the simpler joys of the holiday season, when the delivery of a Christmas cheque from the Happiness Bank was enough to bring a smile to one's face. The postcard, with its warm colors and heartfelt message, is a treasured keepsake from a bygone era. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the intangible riches of the holiday season - love, joy, and the warmth of human connection - and to cherish the memories of the past as we look forward to the promise of the future.
