EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a magical world of wonder and enchantment with this beautiful late Victorian Christmas card from the 1890s. The image features a charming grasshopper gracefully riding on the back of a vibrant orange, pink, and red-winged moth, against a backdrop of a star-studded night sky. The moth, serving as the fairy queen's messenger, appears to be in mid-flight, its wings spread wide, while the grasshopper holds on tight, blowing his tiny horn to signal the arrival of the holiday season. The intricate details of the moth's wings and the grasshopper's expression add to the whimsical charm of this historical card. The crescent moon and stars add to the nighttime ambiance, transporting us to a time when Christmas cards were works of art, filled with fantasy and imagination. This unique and captivating design is a testament to the rich history of Christmas card traditions and the enduring appeal of nature's most beautiful creatures.
