EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and intricately detailed handmade Christmas card from the late 1890s. This unique card, featuring a round design in the shape of a cake, offers a delightful twist on the traditional holiday greeting. At the center, Santa Claus stands proudly, dressed in his iconic red suit with white fur trim and a sack full of toys slung over his shoulder. His rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes convey the jolly spirit of the season. The cake-shaped card is beautifully decorated with intricate icing details, including blue icing swirls and white icing roses. The card's edge is adorned with tiny, hand-painted fruit slices, adding a playful touch to the design. What makes this card truly special, however, is the removable slice on the right-hand side. This ingenious design allows the recipient to take a "bite" out of the card, revealing a hidden message or image beneath. This interactive element adds an element of surprise and delight, making this card a cherished keepsake. This card is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the Victorian era. Its intricate details and whimsical design reflect the attention to artistry and detail that characterized the period. The card's historical significance and its ability to evoke the spirit of the holiday season make it a must-have for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
