EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of this late Victorian New Year greetings card from the 1890s, featuring a charming scene of children playing amongst a lush garden filled with butterflies and flowers under the gentle glow of the crescent moon. The inside pages reveal a heartwarming moral verse that reads, "As the old year wanes and new begins, May kindness be our guiding star, And love and peace to all our kin, In every leaf and every jar." The children, dressed in their finest attire, are captured in a moment of pure joy and innocence, as they frolic amongst the beauty of nature. The crescent moon, a symbol of renewal and rebirth, casts a gentle light over the scene, illuminating the night sky and adding a touch of magic to the moment. Surrounding the children are delicate butterflies, their wings adorned with intricate patterns, fluttering gracefully in the moonlight. The garden is alive with vibrant flowers, their petals unfurling in the night air, adding a burst of color to the otherwise grey and green landscape. Even the family dog joins in on the festivities, playfully interacting with the children and adding to the sense of warmth and joy. This beautiful card, with its intricate details and historical charm, invites us to reflect on the passing of time and the importance of kindness, love, and peace in our lives as we welcome in the New Year.
