EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian-era Christmas card, featuring a beautiful snow scene on a cross-shaped design. Dated circa 1890s, this card embodies the charm and simplicity of the late 19th century. The cross shape, a common religious symbol during this period, adds a touch of tradition and spirituality to the holiday season. The snow-covered landscape is painted with delicate brushstrokes, capturing the tranquility and stillness of a rural winter scene. Tiny houses and cottages, nestled among the trees, are blanketed in white, their chimneys puffing out plumes of smoke. The peaceful countryside is further enhanced by the contrasting autumn leaves, their pink, orange, and brown hues adding a pop of color against the snowy backdrop. The sky above is a clear, blue expanse, dotted with fluffy white clouds. The trees, their branches bare and adorned with snow, stand tall against the winter weather. The overall effect is one of a serene and idyllic winter scene, perfect for spreading holiday cheer. This beautiful card is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Christmas imagery and the beauty of the natural world during the winter months. The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library brings us this exquisite piece of history, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
