Happy, laughing girls
Laughing and happy, Kathy & Karen sit with their shadows behind them. They look cozy in their warm jammies. The card reads “A Merry Christmas / and a Happy New Year.” It is signed “Fred, Isobel, Kathy & Karen.”
This is a Klein family card.
Reading stories to the littles
Here we have Fred holding Kathy and Isobel holding Karen, reading stories in front of the pretty fireplace. A stocking hangs on the mantle. This is a Klein family card.
The back says “We are looking forward to seeing Jennie D in January.”
A new tricycle
A young Kathy sits happily on her tricycle in front of the fireplace. Note the pretty detailed scroll at the mantle. The card is signed “Fred, Isobel & Kathy.” This is one of the Klein family cards.
Baby angels
A group of baby angels and their friends – a deer, a rabbit and some birds – sing and decorate a Christmas tree in the forest, with modest silver glittered accents. The inside was made to look like an unrolled scroll, and in the top left features a quote from Charles Dickens: Closer to our hearts be the Christmas Spirit.
The inside sentiment reads
Wishing you / all / the joyous things / a blessed / Christmas season / brings!
Signed “Love, Mama”
Holding hands
An anonymous pair of siblings from the 1940s, proudly show off their sailor suit and Girl Scout uniform. The girl is a Brownie. The line art shows poinsettia blossoms.
Who Were They?
