EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian religious Christmas card, dating back to around 1880, showcases a stunning display of flying doves arranged in the shape of a cross. The delicate birds gracefully soar across the image, their wings outstretched as if carrying a message of peace and hope. The vibrant colors captured through the lithographic printing technique bring this festive scene to life, evoking feelings of joy and celebration. The intricate details in each dove's feathers highlight the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this beautiful piece. Set against a backdrop of majestic mountains and nestled near an idyllic church, this card exudes a sense of serenity and spirituality. It serves as a reminder of the true meaning behind Christmas - a time for reflection, faith, and unity. Accompanying this enchanting visual is an eloquent verse that adds depth to its message. This carefully chosen poem invites us to embrace the spirit of Noel while emphasizing the significance of Christ's birth. Preserved within private collections over generations, this remarkable print by English School artist H. M Burnside continues to inspire with its timeless beauty. Its enduring appeal lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to transport us back to an era when heartfelt greetings were exchanged through such exquisite works. As we admire this Victorian masterpiece today, let it serve as a gentle reminder that amidst our modern celebrations, there is still room for tradition and reverence during the holiday season.
