Vintage Children Christmas Cards
Christmas is a time for children, so kids made obvious subjects for vintage Christmas cards. These little girls and boys are particularly cute, even if they do only represent a portion of the world’s population. From looking at these holiday cards (and the rest of my cards in my collection) you’d think that no other ethnicities existed before 1940. My apologies if you’re looking for something other than fair-skinned children. When it comes to vintage images, they’re hard to find. (UPDATE: I finally found an image of a non-fair-skinned child! She’s posted in the first row below.)

I was going to comment on only having fair-skinned children, but you already said it. Is there a section on here with vintage children Christmas Cards around the world?
Very sweet! Thanks for sharing!

I wish I had vintage Christmas images with children around the world, but I don’t. (It’s not for lack of trying.) There are some images featuring other ethnicities in the Halloween, paper dolls in vintage costumes and cigar label posts, though.
