This exquisite vintage Austrian Christmas postcard features a charming snowy scene of Vienna's historic Ruprechtskirche, or St. Rupert's Church. The picturesque setting includes the iconic church tower and surrounding buildings, all blanketed in fresh snow, creating a serene winter wonderland. Playful cherubic angels, adorned with wings, are depicted joyfully interacting with Christmas ornaments and baskets on a snow-covered bridge or steps leading towards the church, adding a whimsical and festive touch to the illustration.The postcard is a beautifully illustrated piece, likely a chromolithograph, showcasing vibrant yet soft colors that capture the warmth and spirit of the holiday season. The front bears a German greeting, "Ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und viel Glück zum Jahreswechsel," wishing a Merry Christmas and good luck for the New Year. Identified as "Die österreichische Weihnachtskarte" and designed by "A. M. Maler K.-Wien," this card represents a delightful piece of early 20th-century European holiday tradition, perfect for collectors of Austrian history, Christmas ephemera, or vintage religious art.
