EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant Victorian card, titled "Compliments of the Season", is a stunning chromolithograph print that captures the essence of Christmas in 19th century England. The artwork, created by an English School artist, showcases a picturesque winter scene filled with enchanting elements. In the foreground, two animals – possibly doves – gracefully take flight with their wings spread wide. A cherubic angel hovers above them, adding a touch of heavenly charm to the composition. Surrounding them are beautifully illustrated trees adorned with lilies and mistletoe, symbolizing purity and holiday tradition. A man and woman stand outside a charming house nestled amidst snow-covered surroundings. They are depicted exchanging greetings while holding a bouquet of lilies of the valley, signifying hope and happiness for the coming year. The overall atmosphere exudes warmth and joy as delicate snowflakes fall gently from above. Laurel wreaths frame the scene on either side, further enhancing its festive appeal. This delightful print serves as both an exquisite work of art and a nostalgic glimpse into Victorian Christmas celebrations. Preserved in Hereford City Museum and Art Gallery in Herefordshire, UK, it offers us a window into history while evoking feelings of wonderment during this special season.
