EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and intricately detailed Victorian Christmas card from the 1890s. The circular card, reminiscent of a drum shape, features a lively scene of birds perched on musical instruments, including drums and other percussion pieces. The vibrant colors of the birds - canaries in shades of yellow and brown, and a regal blue and gold bird that could be a lion or a unicorn - add a touch of whimsy and fantasy to the design. The card's border is adorned with a royal crest or coat of arms, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. The cutout design allows the birds to appear as if they are flying out from the card, creating a three-dimensional effect that is both playful and captivating. This card is a beautiful example of the intricate and artistic designs that were popular during the Victorian era. It is a delightful reminder of the joy and wonder that the holiday season brought to people during this time period, and a testament to the enduring appeal of birds and music as symbols of freedom and celebration. Whether displayed as part of a vintage Christmas card collection or used as a unique and personal holiday greeting, this card is sure to bring a smile to the faces of those who receive it.
