EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Yule-Tide Rememberance: A Vintage Christmas Card from the Sharpes Classic Range" 2. Description: This vintage Christmas card, hailing from the Sharpes Classic range, showcases a charming snowy farmyard scene embellished with holly and a lantern, delicately picked out in gold. The card's background is a beige textured paper, providing a warm and inviting contrast to the pristine white winter scene. 3. Date and Provenance: The card is believed to date back to the early 20th century, around 1910-1930. It bears a handwritten inscription on the reverse, "From Bella and Harry," adding a personal touch to this beautiful piece of holiday history. 4. Design and Detail: The card's design is horizontal and features a paper insert, printed with a verse by Beatrice Cleland. The verse, written in single-spaced, red text, reads: "In the stillness of the night, When the frost has kissed the earth, And the snow lies deep and white, And the stars are shining on the hearth, Then we gather round the fire, With the ones we love the best, And we sing the ancient carols, Of the peace that comes to rest. So let us remember, dear, The joy that Yule-tide brings, And the love that makes our hearts so dear, Through the long and frosty rings." 5. Conclusion: This exquisite vintage Christmas card, with its timeless design and heartfelt verse, evokes the spirit of the holiday season and the warmth of family memories. The gold embossed details, red cotton securing the paper insert, and the beautiful verse by Beatrice Cleland make this a truly cherished piece of Christmas history.
