EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this charming and intricately detailed cutout New Year card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The image features three cheerful boys, dressed in breeches and boots, standing on a cobblestone street. One boy holds a slate and chalk in hand, while another balances a wooden bag on his head, a common practice for carrying goods in this time period. The third boy wears a hat adorned with a feather, adding a playful touch to their winter attire. The boys gaze up at the brick wall behind them, perhaps in anticipation of the new year and the adventures it may bring. The intricate cutout design of the card allows the viewer to almost reach out and touch the boys, bringing a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The pavement beneath their feet is worn and uneven, adding to the authenticity of the scene. This delightful card is a reminder of the simplicity and joy of childhood in the late 1800s. The intricate details and beautiful design make it a treasured keepsake for collectors of vintage ephemera and those who appreciate the history of holiday traditions.
