EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of a little girl adorned in Victorian-era fashion, captured on a circular Christmas card from the 1890s. The young girl, with her rosy cheeks and bright eyes, gazes out from beneath the brim of her delicate straw bonnet, adorned with a white fringe and pink ribbon bow. The bonnet's design is reminiscent of the popular styles popularized by children's book illustrator Kate Greenaway, whose works were influential in shaping the aesthetic of the era. The card's circular shape and gold-edged plate add to the vintage charm, transporting us back to a simpler time. The girl's hair is styled in soft ringlets, framing her face and cascading down her shoulders. The card's background is adorned with intricate lace and green foliage, adding to the overall sense of whimsy and delight. This charming Christmas card is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and design of the late Victorian era. The use of natural materials like straw and lace, combined with the soft colors of pink and green, evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia. Whether displayed as a decorative piece or sent as a holiday greeting, this card is a cherished reminder of the history and traditions of the Christmas season.
