EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this enchanting Christmas card from the late Victorian period, circa 1890s. This unique and exquisite folding screen, transformed into a Christmas greeting card, is a true testament to the intricate craftsmanship and artistic flair of the time. The screen, composed of two intricately designed panels hinged together, showcases a lush and vibrant garden scene filled with blue and pink flowers and lush green foliage. Delicate ferns and leaves, with their intricate veins and patterns, add a touch of whimsy and elegance to the design. The left panel features a stunning array of blue forget-me-nots, their petals gently unfurling to reveal their true beauty. The right panel is adorned with a cascade of pink flowers, their petals unfurling like a blossoming bloom. The foliage, with its rich greens and intricate veins, adds depth and texture to the design. The hinges of the folding screen are carefully concealed, allowing the panels to fold seamlessly together when closed. This innovative design not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the card but also makes it a practical and portable piece of art. This Christmas card, with its intricate design and beautiful floral motifs, is a true masterpiece from the late Victorian era. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and the artistry of the past. The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this rare and captivating piece of history for all to enjoy.
