EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian Christmas card featuring a beautiful arrangement of Lily of the Valley and Violets. Dating back to the 1890s, this exquisite greeting card is adorned with intricate white ornate text and lettering, adding to the elegance and charm of the design. The delicate flowers, with their white bells and purple violets, are artfully arranged among lush green leaves, creating a pretty bunch of assorted blooms. Lily of the Valley, also known as May Lily, was a popular choice for Victorian-era floral arrangements due to its symbolism of a return to happiness and the coming of spring. Violets, on the other hand, were believed to represent faithfulness and modesty. Together, these flowers conveyed a message of hope and renewal, making them an ideal choice for Christmas cards during this period. The verse on the card reads, "May the joys of the season be yours, and the coming year bring happiness and good cheer." This rhyme adds a heartfelt touch to the card, making it a thoughtful and meaningful way to spread holiday cheer to loved ones. As you hold this historical piece in your hands, imagine the joy and wonder it brought to those who received it over a century ago. A true testament to the enduring beauty and significance of the Christmas season, this Victorian Lily of the Valley and Violet Christmas card is a treasure to behold.
