EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian-era Christmas card from the late 1890s. The card features a beautiful religious verse set against a backdrop of lush, green pine leaves and fir branches, adorned with vibrant red berries and delicate yellow flowers. Two graceful butterflies, their wings a blend of orange and brown with intricate markings, flutter among the blooms, adding a touch of whimsy to this devotional scene. The Gothic-inspired typography of the card's lettering is both elegant and ornate, with capital letters and initials in a bold, gold font. The verse itself, taken from the Gospel of Luke in the Bible, reads, "And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." The historical significance of the card lies not only in its beautiful design but also in its connection to the Savior's birth and the enduring tradition of exchanging Christmas cards. This card is a testament to the beauty and meaning of the season, a reminder of the hope and love that Christmas brings.
