Nieuwjaarskaart met een portret van een vrouw bij een klok en een tafel met champagne c. 1910 - 1940

This collection of four postcards, created by the artists R and K around the early 20th century, depicts a series of vignettes of women celebrating New Year’s Eve. Each postcard is adorned with the phrase “Gelukkige Nieuwjaar,” Dutch for “Happy New Year.” Each scene features a woman dressed in festive attire, with one holding a bouquet of flowers, another standing next to a clock, and another standing next to a large number "1." The postcards were likely used as greetings for the holiday and demonstrate the popularity of the postcard as a communication medium in the early 20th century. The postcards exemplify the artistic style of the era, using a hand-tinted photographic technique to create soft, romantic imagery.
