EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian-era Christmas card image. Dressed in the height of fashion from the late 1890s, a man in a red jacket and white breeches bows deeply before a graceful woman in an evening gown. The man's attire includes a waistcoat, gloves, and boots, while the woman's voluminous skirt and high neckline are accessorized with elegant jewelry and a fan. The playful comic verse on the front of the card reads, "A Merry Christmas Greeting to You and Yours from Me and Mine," adding a touch of whimsy to this elegant scene. The cutout design allows the figures to appear as if they are popping out from the card, making it a truly unique and nostalgic holiday greeting. This charming card captures the essence of Victorian etiquette and the politeness of the era, with the man's formal bow serving as a gesture of respect and greeting. The intricate details of their costumes and the elegant setting transport us back to a time when Christmas cards were a cherished tradition and a way to express warmth and good wishes to loved ones.
