This illustrated postcard shows Santa Claus standing on snowy ground beside a wooden fence. Santa wears a red coat and hat with white trim and black boots. He holds a wrapped rectangular gift in his left arm and carries a bundle of evergreen branches over his right shoulder. His white beard is long and full. Behind Santa, an early open-frame biplane rests on the snow. The aircraft has two fabric-covered wings supported by visible struts and wires. It sits on spoked wheels. The plane is loaded with wrapped gifts and evergreen branches placed along the fuselage and rear section. A pilot’s seat and mechanical components are visible, with no enclosed cockpit. The landscape is wintery and flat, with snow-covered ground, small leafless shrubs, and a distant treeline. The sky shows a pale yellow and orange band near the horizon, suggesting sunrise or sunset. Icicle shapes form a decorative border around the image. Printed text below the illustration reads: “Merry Christmas. Santa in his aeroplane has come to greet you on this joyous day.” The artwork reflects early 20th-century postcard illustration and combines Christmas imagery with early aviation.
