EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Victorian card print titled ""A Merry Christmas"" captures the essence of holiday joy and nostalgia. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this chromolithograph is now housed at Hereford City Museum and Art Gallery in Herefordshire, UK. The image depicts a cherubic winged angel holding a bouquet of flowers, including lilies, roses, and lily of the valley. The delicate flower crown adorning the angel's head adds an ethereal touch to the scene. Placed in a vase beside the angel are more vibrant blooms, creating a harmonious display. The intricate details and vibrant colors characteristic of chromolithography bring life to this festive greeting card. It serves as a reminder of Victorian-era traditions when exchanging beautifully crafted cards was popular during Christmastime.
