EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian image of a woman in a cornfield adorned with vibrant poppies, featured on a Christmas card from the 1890s. The woman, dressed in a beautiful green summer dress and a matching bonnet, carries a woven basket filled with ripe red, blue, pink, white fruits and flowers. Surrounded by the golden waves of the cornfield, she seems to be lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the delicate poppies that bloom around her. The poppies, with their bold red petals and dark centers, add a splash of contrast against the lush green foliage and the clear blue sky above. Butterflies flit among the poppies, adding a touch of whimsy and grace to the scene. The woman's serene expression and the idyllic countryside setting evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, making this card a perfect gift for the holiday season. This historical image, with its rich colors and intricate details, transports us to a simpler time, inviting us to appreciate the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of rural life.
