EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Victorian-era French Christmas card dates back to the 1890s and showcases a beautiful Nativity scene, framed within a delicate and ornate design. The card's white background is adorned with intricate lace edging and border, adding an air of elegance and refinement. At the heart of the card lies the Nativity scene, with the Virgin Mary cradling the newborn Baby Jesus in the manger. Joseph stands nearby, gazing down at his family in awe and wonder. Surrounding them are shepherds and wise men, paying homage to the newborn King. Above the scene, a gothic arch with columns supports a canopy of stars, symbolizing the heavens and the divine presence of the angels. The card's message, written in elegant script, reads, "Jésus est né" - "Jesus is born." This simple yet profound statement serves as a reminder of the true meaning of the Christmas season - the birth of Jesus Christ. The intricate details of the card's design, from the delicate lace edging to the architectural surround, evoke the rich history and traditions of the Christian faith during the Victorian era. This card is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of faith and the joy of the Christmas season.
