EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Victorian mechanical Christmas and New Year card takes us back to the 19th century, where intricate craftsmanship and delicate beauty were celebrated. The vibrant color lithograph showcases a stunning bouquet of flowers that magically spreads open to become an elegant fan when a pull tab is activated. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable, with each petal and leaf meticulously depicted. Roses, lilies of the valley, and other blossoms intertwine gracefully, creating a symphony of colors and scents captured on paper. Accompanying this visual delight is a heartfelt poem or verse delicately inscribed within the design. This charming addition adds another layer of sentimentality to the already exquisite artwork. As we gaze upon this Victorian masterpiece, we are transported to an era where greeting cards were not just mere pieces of paper but cherished keepsakes meant to convey love and well wishes during the festive season. Whether displayed as part of a collection or sent as a thoughtful gift, this mechanical card serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and the artistry that once adorned our holiday celebrations. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for preserving this snapshot from history through their print by eDavid Pearson. It allows us to appreciate both the botanical wonders captured within its borders and the artistic skill required to bring such magic into existence.
