EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and unique Victorian Christmas card from the late 1890s, featuring an intricately designed apple-shaped card. The red and green apple, adorned with a shiny finish and delicate pink accents, is a feast for the eyes. The verse printed on the rind reads, "Under the rind my wish you'll find, May Christmas be bright and Fortune kind." This beautiful card, from the esteemed collection of The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the artistry and creativity of the late Victorian era. The apple shape is a clever and unconventional choice for a Christmas card, adding a delightful twist to the traditional holiday greeting. The card is attributed to the German publishing house, Bavaria, and the artist is believed to be Ernest Nister. Nister was a renowned publisher of high-quality children's books and Christmas cards during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works were known for their intricate details and beautiful illustrations, making this apple-shaped card a true treasure. The verses on the card offer a heartfelt wish for a bright and fortunate Christmas season, a sentiment that remains relevant and cherished to this day. This card is a testament to the enduring charm of Victorian-era Christmas traditions and the beauty of handcrafted, one-of-a-kind greetings.
