Folding Foliage Greeting Panel Panels Screen Shape Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of this late Victorian New Year greeting card, presented as a stunning four-part folding screen. Dating back to the 1890s, this exquisite card design invites us to celebrate the dawn of a new year in the serene beauty of the countryside. Each panel of this intricately crafted screen showcases a different seasonal scene, bursting with vibrant foliage and lush greenery. In the first panel, we find ourselves in the heart of autumn, with leaves of rich reds, oranges, and yellows cascading from the trees, creating a breathtaking tapestry of color. As we move to the second panel, the scene shifts to the tranquil embrace of winter. Snow-covered branches, their limbs adorned with delicate icicles, stand proud against a backdrop of crystal-clear skies. The stillness of the winter landscape is only broken by the occasional rustle of leaves underfoot, as we imagine a peaceful winter's day. The third panel welcomes the arrival of spring, with the gentle blooming of flowers and the reawakening of nature. Soft pastels of pinks, purples, and blues gracefully adorn the landscape, as the world comes back to life after the winter slumber. Finally, in the fourth and last panel, we find ourselves in the lush, green embrace of summer. Rolling hills, dotted with wildflowers, stretch out before us, while the sun casts a warm, golden glow over the landscape. The gentle rustle of grass beneath our feet and the sweet scent of blooming flowers fill the air, as we bask in the splendor of the season. This New Year card, in the form of a four-part folding screen, is a testament to the beauty and wonder of the natural world. It invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the changing seasons, as we welcome the new year with open hearts and renewed spirits.
