“At Christmas Time” is a hand-painted card made by Gerard William “G.W.” Helbling. He most likely made this for his wife, and the Arts & Crafts style suggests it was done in the early 1900s. (Click to enlarge.)

More to come in another post about this card painted by G. W. Helbling (1882-1971), likely for his wife, Anna May (Beerbower) Helbling (1881-1954). From the Arts & Crafts style used and knowing their family history, it probably was painted after 1904 when they married and before 1920 or so.
