Antique 1910s Embossed New Year Postcard – Winter Scene, Gilded Frame, Unused, Printed in Germany

This untouched treasure from the 1910s captures a serene winter moment: a person and child walking along a snow-covered path, framed by white fences and tall trees. The scene is bordered by an ornate embossed frame in warm orange-brown tones with gilded accents, adding depth and elegance. The message, “All Good Wishes for the New Year”, is printed in gold script at the base of the image.
Marked Printed in Germany, Series No. 1017, this postcard has never been mailed and remains in excellent condition — no creases, no writing, and corners that are perfectly intact. A pristine example of early 20th-century craftsmanship and seasonal sentiment.
