Clear the Track
Pictures by HBG
Two children in red and blue caps sled down a snowy hill past a red house on a 1910 Christmas postcard signed HBG, framed in holly and gold letters that call out "Clear the Track for Merry Christmas." It comes from the golden age of the postcard, when Americans mailed hundreds of millions of picture cards a year. For anyone who loves an old-fashioned Christmas.

Clear the Track For Merry Christmas
On the back
Around 1905-1915 Americans mailed hundreds of millions of picture postcards a year: the golden age of the postcard. These holiday cards come from that time, kept today in the Newberry Library's Curt Teich archive.
