Antique 1910s New Year Postcard – Silver Moonlight Church Scene on Textured Stock, Handwritten Family Message

This antique New Year postcard from the 1910s captures a tranquil winter night in shimmering detail. A full moon glows above a silhouetted town and church steeple, its silver reflection rippling across a river or lake. The card’s artistry lies in its textured paper stock, which adds depth and tactile presence without heavy embossing. Ornate red and pink lettering reads: “To Wish You A Happy New Year.”
On the reverse, a sister and her family send warm wishes to her brother Lennie — a heartfelt handwritten message preserved in dark ink. Likely mailed in an envelope, the card remains in very good antique condition, with only light corner wear and no creases.
