These beautiful illustrations, which originally appeared in calendars, advertisements, and greeting cards from across the United States and Europe, recall the wholesome holidays of simpler times. Nostalgic images of angels, St. Lucia, Yule logs, and wassailing are only some of the treasures selected from the more than 1,300 items in the authors own collection of vintage Christmas books and ephemera.
