EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian Christmas and New Year card captures the essence of a bygone era. The beautifully colored lithograph depicts a young girl holding a prayer book, her innocent gaze fixed on something beyond our view. Her delicate features are framed by a bonnet adorned with ribbons, while her hands clutch the holy book tightly. In the background, we see a boy leaving church, his presence adding to the scene's religious significance. His gloves and fur cape protect him from the winter chill as he ventures out into the festivities of this joyous season. The image exudes an air of celebration and merriment, with hints of Christmas cheer scattered throughout. From the girl's cross necklace to their warm clothing choices, every detail speaks to both tradition and faith. This vintage greeting card transports us back in time, evoking nostalgia for simpler times when holiday celebrations were filled with wonder and innocence. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern-day chaos, there is still beauty in embracing age-old customs. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection captured by eDavid Pearson, let it inspire us to cherish our own festive traditions and find solace in moments of reflection during this special time of year.
