Illustrations are taken from a series of postcards designed and printed between 1908 and the outbreak of World War I in 1914. They are the work of the Wiener Werkstatte, an association of art, design, and craft workshops founded in Vienna, Austria, in 1903. Artists include Josef Hoffmann,Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele, and Michael Powolny.
This volume serves as a structured repository for tracking holiday traditions and personal memories over a five-year period, utilizing historical design as its aesthetic framework. The book provides a curated space for the user to document seasonal reflections, leveraging the visual legacy of the Wiener Werkstatte to contextualize the act of record-keeping within a broader artistic tradition.
