EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming New Years Greetings card from circa 1900, featuring a beautiful Swallowtail Butterfly gracing the front. This intricately detailed illustration captures the elegance and grace of this exquisite insect, its vibrant wings spread wide against a backdrop of delicate pink lilies. The Swallowtail Butterfly, with its distinctive tails on the hindwings, is a symbol of rebirth and renewal, making it an ideal choice for a New Years card. Accompanying the butterfly is a lady, her hand gently holding open a fan adorned with forget-me-nots. The forget-me-nots, a symbol of remembrance and loyalty, add a touch of sweet sentiment to the design. The spray of pink lilies, a traditional New Years flower representing happiness and wealth, completes the scene. The history of New Years Greetings cards dates back to the 18th century, with handmade cards exchanged among friends and family. This card, with its intricate illustration and thoughtful design, is a testament to the enduring tradition of sending New Years Greetings to loved ones. Although the technology and methods of card production have evolved over the years, the sentiment and joy of sending a New Years Greetings card remains unchanged. This Swallowtail Butterfly card is a beautiful reminder of the past, and a delightful way to welcome in the New Year.
