EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century Christmas greetings card captures the essence of Victorian Era festivities. The chromolitho print, titled "Good Luck" showcases a delightful scene filled with holiday cheer and sentimental charm. In this nostalgic illustration, we are transported to a time when Christmas cards were treasured keepsakes. The image features an array of traditional symbols associated with the season: holly leaves, bells, and mouth-watering puddings adorned with sprigs of holly. A mischievous kitten adds an element of playfulness to the composition, reminding us that even during formal occasions like Christmas, joy can be found in unexpected places. The influence of German culture is evident in this artwork as well. Germany was renowned for its intricate paper crafts and their love for cats during this period. This particular card exemplifies the fusion between English and German traditions that characterized Victorian celebrations. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece, it serves as a reminder of how our ancestors celebrated Christmas long ago. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and warmth while also highlighting the enduring appeal of these beloved festive customs. This exquisite print from Fine Art Finder's Valerie Jackson Harris Collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind it but also provides insight into historical social practices surrounding Christmas greetings cards in bygone eras.
