EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this beautiful and intricately designed Victorian Christmas card from the late 1890s. The card features a charming arrangement of red poppies and daisies, their vibrant hues of mauve and purple contrasting against the soft white background. The poppies, with their distinctive silhouettes and delicate petals, are a symbol of remembrance and are often associated with the passing of time and the fleeting nature of life. Surrounding the floral spray is an elegant ear of wheat, a common motif in Victorian art representing the harvest and the abundance of nature. At the center of the design, a simple yet profound cross is delicately etched, adding a touch of religion and spirituality to the card. The cross, with its timeless symbolism, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and hope. This exquisite card, with its intricate details and rich history, is a testament to the beauty and artistry of the Victorian era. The intricate design and attention to detail showcase the craftsmanship and dedication of the artist, making it a cherished keepsake for generations to come. The combination of the floral spray, wheat ear, and cross creates a harmonious and meaningful composition, making this card a truly unique and special addition to any Christmas collection.
