EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this intriguing Victorian-era Christmas card from the late 1890s, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The card features a rectangular design, adorned with a shiny, metallic border, and a crisp, white background. At its center, a small scene unfolds: a pen, bent and broken, pushing its way through two layers of delicate, torn paper. The holes left behind by the pen's relentless advance suggest the passage of time and the urgency of a message that simply cannot wait. This unique Christmas card, a testament to the era's creativity and craftsmanship, invites us to ponder the significance of communication during the late Victorian period. The pen, a symbol of intellect and expression, breaking through the card, could represent the power of words to transcend boundaries and connect people, even during the holiday season. The card's aged charm and intricate details make it a captivating addition to any collection of vintage stationery or Christmas decor. Imagine the delight of receiving such a thoughtful and artistic card during the holidays, a tradition that continues to this day. This print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and meaning behind a simple, handwritten message.
