EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late Victorian era with this charming image of two adorable kittens engaged in a playful moment on a cutout Christmas card. Dressed in their holiday best, the tabby and ginger kittens can't resist the allure of a hatbox adorned with a round, open label. Their inquisitive nature takes over as they paw at the lid, batting it back and forth between them. The hatbox, with its classic shape and intricate detailing, adds a touch of elegance to this delightful scene. This beautiful card, dating back to the 1890s, captures the essence of the holiday season with its pretty and cute design. The kittens' soft fur and expressive eyes draw the viewer in, while the festive hatbox adds a whimsical touch to the image. The use of a cutout shape for the card adds an extra dimension to the design, making it a standout piece among holiday cards of the time. The Victorian era was known for its love of animals, and cats, in particular, were popular pets during this time. This card is a testament to the affection people had for these creatures, and the joy they brought to their lives. The image of the kittens playing with the hatbox is a reminder of the simple pleasures and innocent delights of the past, making it a cherished addition to any vintage Christmas card collection.
