EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the late Victorian era with this charming New Year card featuring a robin hatching from its egg, surrounded by the vibrant greens of holly. Dated circa 1890s, this exquisite card is a delightful blend of whimsy and natural beauty. The delicate white background, adorned with intricate lace edging, sets the stage for the main event. The oval image showcases the robin in the midst of emerging from its fragile shell, its tiny wings still cradled against its body. With a touch of comic humor, the robin holds a sprig of holly in its beak, symbolizing the festive season and the promise of new beginnings. The red breast of the robin contrasts beautifully with the white background and the lush green holly, adding a burst of color to this seasonal design. The robin, a beloved bird known for its resilience and cheerful disposition, has long been a symbol of hope and renewal. The overall effect of this card is one of warmth, nostalgia, and delight. It invites us to reflect on the passing of time and the cyclical nature of life, while also reminding us of the joy and anticipation that comes with the start of a new year. This decorative card is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the late Victorian era, and a reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in the natural world.
