EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian Christmas card image, featuring an ethereal angel gazing down from the heavens. Dressed in flowing white robes and adorned with golden wings, the angel's cherubic features and gentle expression radiate a sense of peace and tranquility. The soft blue sky above is dotted with fluffy clouds, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. The delicate details of the angel's hair, wings, and eyes are beautifully rendered, showcasing the skill of the artist. This image is reminiscent of putti or cherubs, popular motifs in Victorian art and mythology, representing the mischievous and playful spirits of infancy. The use of the angel as a symbol of the Christmas season can be traced back to the 15th century, with the belief that angels announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. This card design, with its timeless charm and historical significance, is a true treasure for collectors and enthusiasts of Victorian art and Christmas traditions.
