              <text>A New Year Greetings Card, postmarked December 21, 1908 and sent from Dresden to Yonkers, New York. It features an embossed recto with four leaf clovers, symbolizing good fortune for the new year. Between 1898 and 1918, the golden era of postcards, Christmas postcards were the most popular vehicle for conveying holiday wishes (Collector's Weekly).&#13;

How nice it would be if you were all here to celebrate with us. Prager strasse is more attractive than ever. The imitation snow in the store windows seems to be about all we will see this year, much to our disappointment. Accept our best wishes for a very happy New Year.&#13;
