EDITORS COMMENTS
A Victoriana Christmas: Soldier on Horseback on a Stirrup-shaped Christmas Card, circa 1890s Step back in time to the late Victorian era, where the spirit of the holiday season was brought to life through intricately designed Christmas cards. This beautiful antique card, featuring a soldier on horseback, is a captivating example of the elaborate and detailed artwork that adorned these seasonal greetings during this period. The soldier, dressed in his full regalia, is depicted riding high on his horse, with a proud and alert posture. He wears a tall, peaked helmet, adorned with a plume, and a red and white striped uniform, complete with blue trousers and a sash. The horse, equally well-groomed, is shown with a flowing mane and tail, and holds a spear in its raised right front leg. The card itself is shaped like a stirrup, adding an extra touch of whimsy and novelty to the design. The soldier and horse are set against a backdrop of a winter landscape, with snow-covered trees and a clear, starry night sky. This charming card would have been a cherished possession, as it not only served as a greeting for the holiday season but also as a reminder of the strength and bravery of the soldiers who guarded the realm. This evocative image, with its rich colors and intricate details, transports us back to a bygone era, where the magic of Christmas was captured through the artistry of the cards exchanged between friends and loved ones.
