Bells Greeting Illuminated Lettering Manuscript Poem Poetry Ring Snowdrop Snowdrops Tennyson Typography Verse Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Illuminated Manuscript New Year card from the 1890s. The intricately designed card features gothic lettering and ornate typography reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The verdant hues of green and white, accented by gold detailing, create a stunning contrast against the backdrop of the Victorian era. The card's verse reads, "Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring happy bells, across the snow: The old year goes, the new one comes, Ringing softly through the frosty air. Ring this merry peal, good people all, From deep to high, ring it, let it flow, Ring this merry peal, good people all." This excerpt is taken from the poem "Ring Out, Wild Bells" by Alfred Lord Tennyson, adding an extra layer of historical significance to this beautiful greeting. The card's design is further adorned with delicate snowdrops, the first flowers to bloom in the new year, symbolizing hope and renewal. This Illuminated Manuscript New Year card is a testament to the rich history of decorative arts and the enduring appeal of Victorian typography and ornamentation. It is a perfect keepsake for those who appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the past.
