EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian Die-cut Shape Christmas card takes us back to the festive season of 1880. The vibrant colour litho print showcases an anthropomorphic cat riding a bicycle, capturing the whimsical spirit of the era. This delightful image is part of a private collection and has been beautifully preserved by eDavid Pearson. The intricate die cutting technique used in this card adds depth and dimension to the paper shape, making it truly unique. The Victorian period was known for its love of ornate designs, and this piece exemplifies that aesthetic with its attention to detail. The cat's playful expression as it confidently pedals on its bike brings a sense of joy and wonderment. It reminds us that even in times gone by, people found delight in unexpected combinations such as animals engaging in human activities. As we admire this vintage gem, we are transported to a time when Christmas cards were cherished keepsakes exchanged among loved ones during the holiday season. The nostalgia evoked by this Victorian masterpiece serves as a reminder of the enduring traditions that bring warmth and cheer into our lives each year. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical art, we can still appreciate these treasures from long ago. Let this enchanting feline on wheels inspire your own holiday celebrations with its timeless charm!
