EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the late Victorian era with this charming and unique New Year's greeting card in the shape of a wedge of cheese. Dating back to the 1890s, this intricately cutout card is a delightful departure from the traditional rectangular or round designs of the time. The cheese wedge, complete with blue veins and a crusty yellow rind, is a playful representation of the festive spirit and abundance associated with the new year. The writing on the card, elegantly penned in script, conveys the hope for a prosperous and joyful new year. The intricacy and detail of the cheese design suggest that this card was a labor of love, carefully crafted by hand. The use of food as a motif in greeting cards was a popular trend during the Victorian era, reflecting the importance placed on the table as a symbol of hospitality and togetherness. This vintage card is a delightful find for collectors of antique greeting cards, Victorian ephemera, or those with a fondness for quirky and nostalgic items. Its charming design and historical significance make it a unique addition to any collection.
