EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and historical German Christmas postcard from 1907, depicting a jolly group of soldiers enjoying the holiday season in their festive barracks building. The scene is filled with the warmth of the season as the soldiers gather around a table, opening letters and parcels from their loved ones. The cozy atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a small, mounted barrel, from which they take turns drawing beers to share amongst themselves. The soldiers take a break from their duties to savor the moment, sharing stories and laughter as they smoke their pipes. In contrast to the jovial scene inside, the other part of the image shows a Christmas angel visiting a very cold German sentry, keeping watch in the freezing evening light. The sentry, bundled up against the cold, looks up in surprise and gratitude as the angel delivers a small package to him. The image beautifully captures the spirit of the season, with its themes of warmth, togetherness, and the magic of the holidays. This postcard, with its intricate details and rich history, is a must-have for collectors of historical Christmas images, military history, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty of the holiday season. The image, with its timeless appeal, is sure to bring joy and warmth to any home or office during the festive season.
