EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of Holly adorned with bells and red ribbons, featured on a vintage Christmas postcard from the 1890s. The holly branch, with its glossy green leaves and bright red berries, is a classic symbol of the festive season. The addition of silver and gold bells and red ribbons adds an extra touch of elegance and cheer. The intricate design of the bells, with their delicate filigree and delicate bows, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The holly branch is set against a backdrop of a winter wonderland, with a blanket of white snow and ice covering the ground. Pine branches and other evergreens frame the scene, adding to the sense of winter magic. The border of the postcard is adorned with more holly and red ribbons, creating a cohesive and festive design. This postcard, from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a beautiful reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season. It invites us to imagine a time when Christmas cards were handwritten messages of love and connection, sent through the mail to loved ones far away. The image of Holly with its bells and red ribbons is a timeless symbol of the holiday spirit, and this postcard is a treasure to be cherished and displayed each year as the season approaches.
