Snowmen, ancient and modern



Of course it's very easy to see which design is the more modern one but there are remarkable similarities with both snowmen having red hats and little people surrounding them.  I'm not sure what the toadstool connection is, if that's what they are.  The first is a reprint of a card in the Estonian Open Air Museum's collection.  The second is a UNICEF card sent from Germany.

This is a post for Postcard Friendship Friday hosted on Beth Niquette's blog, The Best Hearts are Crunchy.

  4. The top snowman looks much happier than the bottom one - with his bottle of gluhwein?

  5. Love both cards for depicting the snowman as an animated creation. First card looks something from a fairytale story about Christmas. :)

    Happy PFF! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family!
