EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a fantastical world of Christmas and New Year cheer with this enchanting greetings card from the 1910s. The jolly scene features cherubic angels, or cherubs, in their winged glory, tending to heart-shaped flowers with green watering cans. These cherubs, symbols of love and joy, bring a sense of whimsy and delight to the holiday season. The custom of exchanging greeting cards during Christmas and New Year is a long-standing tradition that dates back centuries. The first recorded use of Christmas cards can be traced back to the 1400s in Europe, while the exchange of New Year cards can be traced back even further to ancient China and Egypt. This particular card, with its charming depiction of cherubs watering heart flowers, speaks to the enduring appeal of fantasy and the power of love and joy to brighten even the darkest of winters. The green watering cans add a touch of nature to the scene, reminding us of the renewal and growth that comes with the turn of the year. The cherubs in this card are reminiscent of the classical Greek and Roman mythological figures, often depicted as playful and mischievous beings that bring happiness and good fortune. Their presence in this card serves as a reminder of the joy and wonder that the holiday season brings, and the hope for a fresh start in the New Year. This beautiful postcard is a testament to the rich history of holiday customs and traditions, and a reminder of the simple pleasures that make the season so special. Whether you display it as a decoration, send it as a greeting to loved ones, or keep it as a cherished keepsake, this card is sure to bring a smile to your face and a warm glow to your heart.
