EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting handmade Christmas and New Year card from the late 1890s. The mysterious Sphinx, an ancient Egyptian guardian and riddle-poser, solves its age-old enigma as it extends a warm greeting for the festive season and the start of a new year. This intricately designed card, adorned with rich colors and exquisite detail, transports us to the heart of the Middle East, where the desert sands of Egypt meet the towering pyramids. The Sphinx, with its enigmatic smile and piercing gaze, sits atop its pedestal, waiting patiently to share its happy message. The late Victorian era, known for its fascination with the exotic and the ancient, is beautifully captured in this card's design. The intricate stone carving, reminiscent of the Sphinx itself, adds to the historical allure. The card's message, written in elegant script, reads "Happy Xmas and New Year," spreading joy and cheer to all who receive it. This handmade card, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the past, is a unique and captivating way to celebrate the holiday season and the turn of the year. The riddle of the Sphinx may have been solved, but the mystery and wonder of this beautiful card continue to captivate us, transporting us to a time long past.
