Cutout Ribbon Ribbons Verse Waistcoat Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late Victorian New Year card features a young boy in a red waistcoat and grey hat, standing between two playful dogs. The boy wears a white ribbon on his chest, while the dogs, one brown and one white, each sport collars with bright ribbons. The scene is set against a backdrop of wintery trees and a snowy landscape, adding to the festive and joyful atmosphere. The card's cutout design allows the image to be detached and used as a standalone decoration, making it a unique and interactive way to celebrate the New Year. The verse on the back reads, "May the New Year bring you and yours, health, happiness, and prosperity in abundance." This beautiful card dates back to the 1890s, a time when New Year's Eve celebrations were marked with much excitement and anticipation. The tradition of exchanging cards and well-wishes was well established, and intricately designed cards like this one were a popular way to spread cheer and connect with loved ones. The image of a boy with dogs is a common motif in Victorian-era New Year cards, representing the joy and companionship that animals can bring into our lives. The use of ribbons and bright colors adds to the festive spirit of the card, making it a delightful addition to any collection of antique holiday memorabilia.
