EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian New Year card transports us back to the 19th century, where intricate illustrations and heartfelt sentiments were cherished. The vibrant color lithograph showcases a red admiral and peacock butterfly, delicately perched upon a bed of blooming flowers. The meticulous attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable; every brushstroke brings these graceful creatures to life. The red admiral's wings are adorned with striking patterns, while the peacock butterfly displays its mesmerizing iridescent hues. Accompanying this enchanting image is a charming rhyme or verse that undoubtedly conveys warm wishes for the upcoming year. Perhaps it speaks of hope, joy, or new beginnings - an invitation to embrace the promise of fresh starts. As we gaze upon this timeless work of art, we can't help but imagine the recipient's delight upon receiving such a thoughtful greeting card over a century ago. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced digital age, there is still something magical about tangible expressions of love and well-wishes. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and eDavid Pearson's skilled photography, we have the privilege of appreciating this piece from a private collection today. Let us celebrate not only the beauty captured within this print but also the enduring legacy of Victorian craftsmanship and sentimentality it represents.
