EDITORS COMMENTS
This Edwardian postcard transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing the essence of a joyous Christmas celebration. The vibrant color lithograph showcases two enchanting angels, each bearing unique symbols of abundance and festivity. The angel on the left delicately cradles a basket overflowing with luscious fruits, symbolizing nature's bounty and nourishment. Their wings gracefully extend behind them, evoking a sense of ethereal beauty and divine presence. Meanwhile, the angel on the right holds a miniature Christmas tree adorned with twinkling lights, representing hope and renewal during this special season. Every detail is meticulously rendered by an anonymous English artist from that era. From their flowing sashes to intricate botanical patterns adorning their robes, this print exudes elegance and sophistication. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of the intertwining themes of spirituality and natural history. These celestial beings serve as messengers between heaven and earth while also showcasing humanity's deep connection with botany and food. Preserved within a private collection for over a century, this rare gem now finds its way into our hearts through eDavid Pearson's lens. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact that allows us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage surrounding Christmas traditions.
