The playful pun on the phrase "Hair Apparent" adds a touch of humor to the festive season, making it a unique and memorable greeting for loved ones.
Dating back to circa 1890, this vintage card captures the essence of Victorian wordplay and verbal wit. The intricate design and attention to detail in depicting the red strands of hair showcase the artistic craftsmanship of that time period.
As we admire this delightful piece of history, we can't help but imagine the joy it must have brought to its original recipients over a century ago. In an age before mass-produced cards became commonplace, receiving such a personalized and thoughtfully designed Christmas greeting would have been truly special.
