EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Christmas and New Year card, issued by the British War Office in 1951, showcases the rich symbolism and heraldry of the British government department responsible for the military forces. The front of the card is adorned with a golden lion, a prominent symbol of England, standing proudly on a crown. The lion, a powerful and fierce creature, represents courage, strength, and valor, while the crown signifies sovereignty and authority. The blue and red ribbon, the colors of the Order of the Garter, adds a touch of elegance and tradition to the design. The card's simple yet elegant design reflects the 1950s aesthetic, making it a beautiful and timeless piece of historical art. The card was likely sent to military personnel and their families, as well as other government officials, as a way to spread holiday cheer and show support during the post-war era. This card is a reminder of the proud history and heritage of the British War Office and the important role it played in defending the country during times of conflict.
