EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Victorian-era paper lace Christmas card depicts the cherished biblical story of the Flight into Egypt. Dating back to the 1890s, the card showcases intricate white lace patterns that delicately surround the scene, adding an ethereal and ornate touch. The central image presents the Virgin Mary, holding the baby Jesus, while Joseph leads the way on a donkey. The family is guided by an angel, ensuring their safety during their escape to Egypt to protect them from King Herod's wrath. The architectural elements of the card border add a sense of grandeur to the scene, with a rose window and intricate arches framing the image. The lace patterns, reminiscent of the intricacy and elegance of the Victorian era, create a delicate and beautiful contrast against the rich Christian symbolism. The overall effect is one of tranquility and safety, as the holy family embarks on their journey to find refuge and protection. This card, with its intricate lace patterns and religious significance, is a testament to the enduring beauty and meaning of the Christmas season. The Flight into Egypt scene has been a popular motif in Christian art for centuries, and this Victorian-era paper lace Christmas card beautifully captures the essence of this cherished story.
