EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Aviation Christmas: Three Edwardian Children in Wonder at the Sight of Santa Claus Flying High Above in a Triplane (circa 1900s) This enchanting postcard captures the magical moment when the wonders of the modern world intertwined with the timeless traditions of Christmas. The scene depicts three children, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, gazing in awe at the night sky as Santa Claus soars overhead not on his traditional sleigh, but in a triplane. The children's faces are filled with excitement and curiosity as they watch the jolly old man in his red suit and white beard, waving cheerfully from the cockpit. The triplane, a symbol of the early days of aviation, adds an unexpected twist to the classic Christmas tale. The moon casts a gentle glow over the scene, illuminating the snow-covered landscape below and the plane's wings as they cut through the night sky. The children cling to each other, their eyes wide with wonder, as they watch the plane drop presents and gifts from its cargo hold. This postcard, with its charming depiction of an Edwardian Christmas, transports us back in time to a simpler era when the magic of Christmas and the wonder of flight came together in a most unexpected way. A truly unique and delightful addition to any holiday greeting, this postcard is sure to bring joy and wonder to all who receive it.
