Christs Peace Be With Thee
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Victorian-era Religious Christmas Card by Robert Dudley, Circa 1880s This beautiful and intricately designed Victorian-era religious Christmas card, titled "Christs Peace Be With Thee," is a stunning example of the devotional art of the late 19th century. The card was created by the renowned English artist, Robert Dudley, and is believed to date back to the 1880s. The card features a classical, serene scene of an angel, with outstretched wings, bestowing blessings upon a woman in traditional Victorian dress. The angel holds a book in one hand, symbolizing the word of God, and a sword and scales in the other, representing judgment and balance. The woman, with her hands folded in prayer, gazes up at the angel with a look of deep reverence and devotion. The background of the card is a tranquil sky filled with fluffy, white clouds, creating a sense of calm and peace. The overall style of the card is reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, with its attention to detail, rich colors, and emphasis on the beauty of nature and the human form. This card was likely used as a personal greeting during the Christmas season, reminding the recipient of the peace and blessings that come with the birth of Christ. The intricate design and religious symbolism make it a cherished keepsake from a bygone era, and a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the beauty of art.
