EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian New Year card featuring a charming scene of a pigeon and a dove perched together on a rustic rooftop. Dating back to the 1890s, this beautifully preserved card showcases the intricate details of the Rococo revival style, with its decorative gold surround and ornate floral motifs. The serene white doves, symbols of peace and purity, sit gracefully alongside their earthier counterparts, the pigeons, adding a touch of whimsy and contrast to the scene. The rural cottage setting, complete with thatched roof and ivy-covered walls, transports us to a simpler time, evoking a sense of nostalgia and warmth. This exquisite card is a testament to the rich history of holiday traditions and the enduring beauty of Victorian-era design.
