EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Victorian New Year Card, we are transported back to the elegant and refined world of the 19th century. The monochrome print by Alfred Gray showcases an Aesthetic figure, delicately adorned in a bonnet and holding a fan, as she admires a vase filled with vibrant peacock feathers. The scene exudes an air of patience and tranquility as the Aesthetic girl takes her time to appreciate the beauty before her. The intricate details of each feather are masterfully captured, evoking a sense of awe for nature's wonders. Surrounding our protagonist are sunflowers and fish, adding further symbolism to this festive greeting card. Sunflowers represent adoration and loyalty while fish symbolize abundance and prosperity - all hopeful sentiments for the upcoming year. This enchanting engraving transports us into a world where aesthetics were highly valued; where artistry met everyday life in harmonious celebration. It is reminiscent of Gilbert and Sullivan operas that captivated audiences during this era. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but be reminded of the rich history behind these Victorian traditions. This print serves as both a reminder of past celebrations and an inspiration for future festivities – embracing beauty, nature's wonders, and the joyous spirit that accompanies every new year.
