1. Title: "A Victoriana New Year: Sailing into the 1890s with Sail Ships and Vibrant Leaves" This exquisite hand-coloured New Year card, dating back to the late 1890s, transports us back in time to an era of romance and nostalgia. The image features a majestic sailing ship gracefully sailing through the tranquil waters, leaving a spray of green leaves in its wake. The intricate details of the ship, from the sails to the rigging, are expertly drawn and hand-coloured in rich hues of red and orange. The background is adorned with a vibrant spray of green leaves, symbolizing the rebirth and renewal of life, a fitting motif for the New Year. The text, also hand-drawn and coloured, reads "A Happy New Year," adding a personal touch to this original work of art. The late Victorian period, characterized by its ornate designs and intricate details, is reflected in this card's beautiful execution. The use of hand-colouring adds an element of uniqueness and charm, making it a cherished keepsake from the past. The card's historical significance lies in its ability to capture the essence of the era, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the simple joys of celebrating the New Year. This stunning piece of art, with its intricate details and rich colours, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past, and a reminder of the importance of cherishing the moments and traditions that bring us joy.
