EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this beautiful and intricately designed Cross-shaped Christmas card from the late 1890s. The card features a cross formed by intertwining vines and branches, adorned with pink and white roses, forget-me-nots, and other delicate flowers. The cross is framed by a lace-like border in shades of green and gold, adding to its ornate and elegant appearance. At the top of the card, in elegant Gothic style lettering, the Latin inscription "Gloria in excelsis Deo et in terra pax" (Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth) is written. This traditional Christmas greeting, which translates to "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace, goodwill towards men," is a reminder of the religious significance of the holiday season. This exquisite card, with its intricate patterns and beautiful floral motifs, is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating Victorian-era Christmas cards. It is a charming and pretty addition to any holiday display or collection, and a lovely way to spread the message of peace and goodwill during the festive season.
