EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and intricately detailed New Year card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The card takes the form of a beautiful wickerwork basket, skillfully crafted from straw and adorned with delicate labels on the outside. The lid of the basket is carefully lifted to reveal a delightful surprise inside. As the label on the front reads, "A Merry New Year," the interior of the basket is filled with playful white mice, scampering about and adding a touch of whimsy and cheer to the scene. The mice, a common symbol of new beginnings and the start of something fresh, bring a sense of joy and excitement for the year ahead. The use of wickerwork in this card was a popular trend during the Victorian era, reflecting the love for natural materials and the craftsmanship of the time. The intricate details of the basket, from the labels to the mice, showcase the artistry and attention to detail that went into creating these beautiful greetings. This New Year card is a delightful reminder of the past and the traditions that have stood the test of time. It's a charming addition to any vintage collection or a unique and thoughtful gift for a loved one. May the new year bring you as much joy and wonder as this beautiful wickerwork basket filled with white mice.
