Beak Beaks Dove Doves Envelope Envelopes Letter Thorns
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian image of a dove holding a Christmas card in its beak, adorned with a delicate branch of pink flowers. Doves were a common symbol of peace and goodwill during the Victorian era, and their inclusion on holiday cards added an extra layer of meaning to the season's greetings. The dove's pristine white feathers contrast beautifully with the vibrant hues of the pink blooms, their thorns gently peeking out amongst the petals. The intricately detailed envelope in the dove's beak, with its elaborate floral design and lace-like edges, speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating these beautiful cards. This charming scene transports us back to a time when sending a heartfelt message to loved ones was an art form in and of itself. The simplicity and elegance of this image make it a timeless addition to any holiday collection, evoking the spirit of the past and the joy of the season.
