EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian-era Christmas card from the late 1890s. The exterior of the card features intricately designed gold edging, adding a touch of elegance and luxury. Upon opening the card, you are greeted by two beautiful pages adorned with a delicate purple and green floral design. The pages are filled with a heartfelt poem, written in elegant script font, that reads: "May the holly be jolly, and bright, And the yule-tide merry and light, With love and good cheer, And a happy New Year, May peace be ever nigh, And joy in the heart, Throughout the year, From this day to the New Year's start. The beauty of this Christmas card lies not only in its stunning design, but also in the history it carries. The intricate lettering, the use of gold edging, and the inclusion of a verse on the inside pages are all characteristic of the late Victorian era. The flowers and leaves depicted in the design add a touch of natural beauty and charm, making this card a true work of art. This card, with its timeless design and heartfelt message, is a reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season and the importance of spreading love and cheer to those around us. It is a treasure to be cherished and displayed year after year, a piece of history that continues to bring joy and delight to all who see it.
