EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of a boy and girl sharing a tender moment under the mistletoe during the late Victorian era. Circa 1890s, this round, circular Christmas card features two children dressed in fashionable attire of the time. The little girl, adorned in a pink dress with a ribbon bow, gazes up at the boy in a sailor suit, who holds a sprig of mistletoe in his hand. The mistletoe branch, a traditional symbol of love and happiness during the holiday season, adds to the romantic atmosphere of the scene. The intricately designed border of the card, with its delicate floral motifs and gold accents, showcases the attention to detail and craftsmanship typical of the late 19th century. The use of muted colors, such as white and blue, adds to the nostalgic and timeless quality of the image. This charming Christmas card is a reminder of the simple joys and traditions that have endured throughout the years. It invites us to reflect on the history and meaning behind this beloved holiday custom and to cherish the moments of love and connection that we share with our loved ones during the festive season.
