EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian hold-to-light Christmas card from circa 1890 is a true testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the era. Crafted with meticulous detail, this coloured lithograph showcases an enchanting nativity scene that magically appears when held in front of a light source. The delicate floral patterns adorning the card add an elegant touch, enhancing its visual appeal. As one gazes upon this remarkable piece of art, they are transported back in time to a bygone era where such novelties were cherished during the festive season. With each gentle flicker of light, Mary and Joseph come to life alongside baby Jesus in his humble manger. The warm glow illuminates their serene expressions as they bask in the divine presence surrounding them. This religious tableau serves as a poignant reminder of the true meaning behind Christmas - love, hope, and faith. Preserved within a private collection, this extraordinary print evokes nostalgia for simpler times while showcasing the artistic prowess of English School artists from the 19th century. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today just as it did over a century ago. As we admire this exquisite hold-to-light greeting card reveal, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also its ability to transcend time and bring joy to those who behold it during this magical holiday season.
