EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian Christmas and New Year card, featuring a delightful scene of robin birds and their chicks. Dated circa 1890s, this beautiful card showcases the whimsical charm of the holiday season during this era. The ornate, embossed edging adds an air of elegance and sophistication, while the intricate lacy design and white background create a sense of purity and innocence. The humanized, anthropomorphic robins, with their bright red breasts and cheerful expressions, bring a touch of joy and happiness to the card. The nest filled with chirping chicks, nestled among the branches, symbolizes the promise of new beginnings and the return of spring after the winter holidays. The use of robins on Christmas cards is a tradition that dates back to the 19th century, with the belief that the red breast of the robin represented the blood of Christ. This comic and humorous card, with its charming illustration and intricate details, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this beloved holiday symbol. This card is a perfect addition to your vintage Christmas and New Year collection, evoking memories of a bygone era and reminding us of the simple joys of the holiday season.
