Step back in time with this charming Victorian-era New Year card featuring two adorable rabbits delighting in a fresh lettuce leaf. Dated circa 1890s, this card showcases the intricate cutout design that was popular during the late 19th century. The rabbits, with their expressive eyes and delicate markings, are artfully crafted from a rich, textured paper. The lettuce leaf, a symbol of renewal and prosperity, adds a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The card's shape is also noteworthy, as it showcases the intricate cutting techniques used during this period.
