EDITORS COMMENTS
"A charming Elizabethan-style Christmas card by the talented Ethel Parkinson, featuring a young couple embracing in the frosty winter landscape. The couple's attire is reminiscent of the Elizabethan era, with the man wearing a doublet and hose, complete with a ruff and tucks, while the woman dons a voluminous tunic with a high neckline and long sleeves, adorned with intricate lace and a feathered hat. The snow-covered ground adds to the rustic, nostalgic feel of the scene. The greeting reads, "I wyshe you fayre good-morrowe and a thousande fayre good morrowes after that." The archaic spelling and old-fashioned greeting further enhance the historical authenticity of the card. The young couple's loving embrace and the peaceful winter scene evoke a sense of warmth and goodwill, making this a truly special Christmas card." Ethel Parkinson's artistic abilities shine through in this beautiful depiction of a young couple in Elizabethan-style costumes. The attention to detail in their clothing, from the man's doublet and hose to the woman's tunic and feathered hat, is impressive. The snowy landscape adds to the winter wonderland feel of the card, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more romantic era. The greeting, with its old-fashioned spelling and warm wishes, adds a personal touch to the card, making it a thoughtful and unique choice for the holiday season. This card is a must-have for those who love history, nostalgia, and the beauty of a snowy winter landscape.
