EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian Christmas and New Year card featuring a charming scene of robins perched amidst the pristine snow. Dated circa 1890s, this antique card exudes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us to a rural winter wonderland. The vibrant red robins, with their plump bodies and bright eyes, contrast beautifully against the crisp, white snow, adding a touch of warmth and life to the otherwise cold and still landscape. The card's intricate edge and foliage detailing, reminiscent of holly leaves, add to the seasonal theme, while the windmill and fence in the background suggest a rural setting. The windmill, a common symbol of the countryside, adds a sense of tranquility and peace, while the fence, with its delicate, curved edges, frames the scene perfectly. As the snow gently falls, the robins huddle together, seeking shelter and warmth from the biting winter weather. Their presence on the card signifies hope and renewal, symbolizing the end of one year and the beginning of a new one. This beautiful card, from The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library, is a timeless reminder of the magic and wonder of the holiday season and the hope that lies in the promise of a new year.
