1. Title: "A Cheerful Snowman Welcomes the New Year: A German Postcard from the 1900s" This postcard, dating back to the early 1900s, showcases a jovial snowman embracing the winter season and ushering in the New Year. The snowman, with his humanized features, is dressed in a top hat adorned with a white ribbon and two buttons for eyes. His carrot nose and coal eyes add to his playful charm. The snowman's most distinctive feature is the red umbrella he carries, which not only protects him from the potential winter precipitation but also adds a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic winter landscape. A cigar clenched between his teeth further humanizes him, adding a touch of humor and merriment. The snowman's legs are depicted as two sticks, while his body is made up of large, rounded snowballs. The surrounding winter scene is depicted in shades of white and blue, with a funnel-like structure in the background, possibly a chimney, releasing smoke into the cold winter air. This postcard, with its charming illustration, serves as a reminder of the simple joys and fun that winter and the New Year bring. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of snowmen and the warmth and cheer they evoke, even in the coldest of seasons. This postcard, a piece of history, invites us to embrace the winter and look forward to the promise of a new year.
