EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this late Victorian Christmas card from the 1890s, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image features a classic red and white rectangular card adorned with intricate holiday designs and embellishments. At the center, a sharp pencil, with its distinctive yellow barrel and black graphite tip, is shown breaking through the card, leaving two perfect holes. The pencil's lead has torn a clean corner from the card, revealing a soft, white interior. This unique design symbolizes the joy and excitement of receiving a heartfelt message or note during the holiday season. The pencil, a common writing instrument of the era, represents the importance of communication and the act of putting pen to paper. The torn card and broken pencil also serve as a reminder of the impermanence and fragility of holiday greetings, adding a touch of nostalgia and sentimentality to this beautiful piece. The Christmas card's intricate details and elegant design are reminiscent of the late Victorian era, a time when holiday cards were a cherished tradition and a way to connect with loved ones near and far. This print makes for a stunning addition to any home office, study, or gallery wall, and is sure to inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity in all who see it.
