EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting circular Christmas card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The card features a stunning design of birds and flowers against a backdrop of an intricately patterned oriental plate. The rich red and gold hues of the card are beautifully contrasted by the delicate shades of blue, purple, and white, creating a dazzling and jazzy effect. The centerpiece of the design is a stork, a symbol of good fortune and happiness, gracefully perched on a branch, surrounded by an array of vibrant flowers and leaves. The design is reminiscent of the Chinoiserie style, which was popular during the Victorian era for its ornate and exotic allure. The intricate pattern on the card, with its leafy motifs and delicate floral designs, is inspired by the art of Eastern pottery and porcelain. This circular Christmas card is not only a beautiful decoration for the holiday season but also a fascinating glimpse into the past. The card's historical significance lies in its ability to transport us back to a time when Christmas cards were a labor-intensive and artisanal craft, made with care and attention to detail. The card's intricate design and use of natural motifs reflect the Victorian era's appreciation for the beauty of nature and the artistry of craftsmanship.
