EDITORS COMMENTS
Ehre sei Gott in der Hohe: An Angel in Victorian Winter Grace (Circa 1890s) Step into a bygone era with this enchanting image of an angel, clad in a coat and holding a hand muff against the backdrop of a snowy winter landscape. This late Victorian Christmas card, hailing from Germany, transports us back to an age of elegance and wonder. The ethereal angel, with her pale, blue-tinged features and delicate wings, gazes down at us with a serene expression. Her snow-white coat, adorned with intricate embroidery and fur trim, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The angel's hat, nestled beneath her wings, adds a touch of whimsy and charm. The frosty landscape, blanketed in snow, is a picturesque setting for our celestial guardian. Her boots, peeking out from beneath her coat, are a practical touch that underscores the angel's role as a protector and guide during the coldest of seasons. In her hand, she cradles a hand muff, its rich red color providing a striking contrast against the wintry scene. The phrase "Ehre sei Gott in der Hohe" (Glory to God in the Highest) inscribed at the bottom of the card, serves as a poignant reminder of the true meaning of the holiday season. This beautiful, vintage Christmas card invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty and grace of the world around us, even as we celebrate the joy and love that the season brings. Experience the magic of this late Victorian Christmas card, and let its timeless charm and elegance captivate your heart.
