EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Victorian Christmas and New Year card, meticulously reproduced to capture the essence of the first-ever Christmas card. Dating back to approximately 1880, this enchanting image depicts elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen raising their glasses in a toast, radiating joy and merriment. The color lithograph beautifully captures every detail of this historic moment, from the intricate patterns on their attire to the delicate expressions on their faces. The festive atmosphere is enhanced by an abundance of ivy leaves adorning the scene, symbolizing eternal life and good fortune. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this masterpiece now resides in a private collection. Thanks to eDavid Pearson's expert photography skills, we can relish in its beauty today. This remarkable piece holds immense historical significance as it pays homage to Sir Henry Cole's groundbreaking creation – the very first Christmas card ever sent in 1843. It serves as a reminder of how traditions evolve over time while retaining their core values of love, celebration, and unity during the holiday season. Whether displayed proudly on your wall or shared with loved ones as part of your own seasonal greetings, this Victorian gem will transport you back in time while celebrating timeless themes that continue to resonate with us all.
