EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming glimpse into a bygone era, this Victorian Christmas card captures the joy and innocence of the holiday season. In this delightful scene, a young boy proudly dons a mortarboard cap while embracing a girl adorned with a feathered pink bonnet. The year is 1880, and these children radiate excitement as they celebrate their academic achievements and revel in the festive spirit. The color lithograph beautifully brings to life the intricate details of their attire – from the boy's scholarly cap to the girl's elegant bonnet. Their intertwined arms symbolize unity and friendship, reflecting the importance of connection during this special time of year. Surrounded by holly leaves and berries, symbols of hope and goodwill, these children embody the true essence of Christmas. This vintage greeting card serves as a nostalgic reminder that even in simpler times, celebrations were filled with merriment and shared moments. Preserved within a private collection for decades, this photograph print evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia. It transports us back to an enchanting Victorian era where festivities were cherished traditions passed down through generations. As we admire this timeless image captured by eDavid Pearson from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it remind us to embrace our own holiday celebrations with joyous hearts and open arms.
