Early 20th-century Christmas cards reflected a blend of Victorian influences and new design trends. Many cards featured intricate illustrations with snowy landscapes, holly, angels, and religious scenes, continuing the ornate style of the late Victorian era. The use of rich colors like red, green, and gold, along with nature motifs such as mistletoe and winter imagery, was common.
The rise of Christmas postcards in the early 20th century led to simpler designs, often with more graphic elements. These postcards sometimes incorporated humor, with playful depictions of Santa Claus or animals dressed in festive attire. These cards marked a shift toward more accessible and varied designs, while still maintaining the festive and traditional spirit of the season.
Here below is a set of Christmas cards for customers from various service and professional workers in early 20th century Spain.
