EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this delightful Victorian-era Christmas card from the late 1890s, featuring an intricately designed carpenter's plane as its centerpiece. This unique and artistic greeting card is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was prevalent during the era. The plane, a tool used for smoothing and levelling wooden surfaces, is depicted in all its metal and wooden glory, with a smooth, polished finish that suggests a job well done. The use of a carpenter's plane as a Christmas card design is a clever play on words, as the term "plane" can also refer to a flat, level surface or a flat piece of land. This pun adds a touch of verbal humor to the card, making it a delightful find for anyone with a love for wordplay and carpentry. The card's vintage charm is further enhanced by its intricate metal and woodwork, which gives it a tactile and textured feel. The overall design is both functional and artistic, reflecting the ingenuity and creativity of the Victorian era. This beautiful Christmas card is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the history of greeting cards, the craft of carpentry, or simply enjoys a good pun. It is a unique and thoughtful gift for the holiday season, and a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage Christmas cards.
