A red-breasted robin with a black head and yellow beak perches on a sprig of holly, facing left against a ribbed gold background, while a second robin flies at upper right. Behind the robin's head, a small vignette shows a church on snow-covered ground beneath a pale pastel sky, and the greeting A Merry Christmas to you completes the card. Bird A Merry Christmas to You brings that early postcard warmth to your walls as a vintage Christmas poster.
Fans of old holiday ephemera and anyone who loves garden birds will find plenty to enjoy here. Hang it in a living room above a mantel shelf, or in a dining room where family gathers for seasonal meals. The gold, red, green and blue palette sits easily beside wreaths and garland.

Questions about this print
When was the Bird A Merry Christmas to You card made?
It dates to around 1908. Published by Bamforth & Co., the card shows a red-breasted robin on holly, a second robin in flight and a snowy church view, all set against a ribbed gold background with the greeting A Merry Christmas to you.
What makes this robin card vintage Christmas art?
Vintage Christmas art usually means holiday cards, prints and illustrations from roughly the 1880s to the 1920s. This c.1908 robin card fits that tradition, with its holly, snowy church, pastel sky and gold, red and green palette, all typical of early twentieth century seasonal greetings.
Is the Bird A Merry Christmas to You poster an original antique card?
No, it is a giclée reproduction of the c.1908 card, printed on 230GSM archival matte paper. The ribbed gold background and both robins appear as flat printed detail, giving you the antique look in an unframed, frame-ready format that is easy to hang.
What size suits a living room wall?
For a living room wall, 18×24 or 24×36 lets the robin and holly read clearly from across the room. Smaller sizes such as 8×10 or 11×14 suit a shelf, side table or a cluster of seasonal prints in a hallway or dining room.
Production
Every print is made to order and individually quality-checked before it ships. Production takes 1–4 business days.
Delivery times
Christmas delivery
To have it by Christmas, order by Saturday, December 12 in the US or Friday, December 4 for Canada. Carriers set earlier cut-offs in December: USPS asks for holiday parcels to ship by December 17 within the US and by December 9 to Canada, and every print is made to order first.
Free shipping
Free on every US order. Canada — free over CA$99 (CA$14.99 below). International — free over CA$199 (CA$29.99 below). Every order ships with full tracking.
Packaging
Each print ships flat in a protective mailer or rolled in a thick, crush-resistant tube, depending on size — no bends, no creases, gallery-ready on arrival.
Returns
Every print is made to order in the size you select, so prints can’t be returned or exchanged for a different size or a change of mind. Arrived damaged or defective? Send us a photo within 7 days of delivery and we reprint it free.
All prints are unframed archival paper with a clean white border, so you’re free to trim or frame them however you like. Ten sizes, from desk-friendly to oversized statement pieces:
Choosing a size
11×14″ and 16×20″ suit desks, shelves and gallery walls. 18×24″ is our best-selling statement size for bedrooms and studios. 24×36″ and larger make a bold focal point above sofas, beds and dining areas.
Gallery walls
Mix 11×14″ and 16×20″ prints with 2–3″ spacing between frames for a curated, designer look. Need a custom size up to 36×70″? Contact us for a quote.
Printing
Each poster is produced with professional giclée printing on heavyweight 230gsm archival matte paper — a smooth, glare-free, gallery-grade stock with a bright white base for true-to-life colour. Paired with archival, fade-resistant pigment inks, every print holds its contrast, depth and fine detail for decades — no fading, no yellowing.
Why it matters
Heavyweight 230gsm archival matte eliminates glare and delivers museum-level colour depth that standard poster paper simply can’t match — the same fine-art materials trusted by galleries.
Framing
Prints ship unframed with a clean border, ready for the frame of your choice. Black, white or natural wood all work beautifully; pair with UV-protective glass for maximum longevity. See our framing guide for recommendations.
Care
Display away from direct sunlight to preserve vibrancy, and dust gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

Product & Quality
Question: What kinds of art do you sell?
Answer: Two worlds on one wall: original culture-driven designs — KAWS-inspired and hypebeast art, sneakers, anime, music, F1 and automotive — and The Archive, our restored museum classics spanning William Morris, Japanese woodblock masters, Art Nouveau, vintage travel posters, gothic engravings and the 1909 tarot deck. Every collection is printed on the same 230 GSM archival matte stock.
Question: What paper and print quality do you use?
Answer: Every poster is printed on 230 GSM archival matte paper with giclée pigment inks. Expect rich colour, deep blacks and a smooth, glare-free matte finish, with inks made to resist fading for decades. See how it compares in posters vs canvas vs metal.
Question: Will my poster fade over time?
Answer: No. Prints use archival pigment inks on acid-free 230 GSM matte paper, made to resist fading for decades when kept out of direct sunlight. Framing behind glass or UV-protective acrylic adds extra protection — see our framing guide.
Question: How do giclée posters compare to canvas or metal prints?
Answer: Giclée on archival matte paper gives sharp detail and accurate colour, frames well, and suits a gallery wall of several prints. We break down the trade-offs in posters vs canvas vs metal.
Sizing & Framing
Question: What sizes do you offer?
Answer: We offer ten sizes, from 5×7 up to 32×40 inches (availability varies by design). Sizes vary by design and format. Each product page lists the dimensions available for that specific poster or set. Not sure which to choose? See our Poster Size Guide and the blog standard poster sizes.
Question: What size should I get for my wall?
Answer: A simple rule: your art should fill about two-thirds of the wall or the furniture beneath it. 18×24 works well as a statement size; 24×36 and larger suit spaces above sofas and beds. Full room-by-room breakdown in the Size Guide.
Question: Do posters arrive framed, and how do I frame them?
Answer: Classic prints ship unframed, flat or rolled depending on size, so you can pick a frame you love — our standard sizes drop straight into off-the-shelf frames. Prefer it ready to hang? Our framed posters arrive assembled by hand in Black Oak or Natural Oak frames with acrylic glazing. Step-by-step help is in How to Frame Your Poster and the blog how to frame a poster.
