Frances Brundage created hundreds of different Christmas greeting cards in different styles for different publishers. Some of them are signed, others are not. It's possible some of the presented vintage Christmas postcards are created by someone else (although not very likely) because the process of creation was often very hectic and errors were not so rare.
The adorable vintage Xmas card above already presents three signature elements of Frances Brundage's style:
- cute kids with rosy cheeks and dreamy eyes,
- strong red color,
- holly tree leaves and fruit (in this case with red and green as a winning combination of Christmas colors).
We'll find these elements in next examples as well.

See? All three elements again.
After all these poses it's time for some action - Christmas picture postcards with kids playing or having fun more actively.
There is no Christmas without Santa. How Frances Brundage portrayed him?
Yes, that's right, with dreamy eyes, rosy cheeks, a lot of red, and some holly.
