EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and intriguing Victorian-era Christmas card from the 1890s. The front of the card features an elegant envelope adorned with a red, blue, and black design, reminiscent of the colors of various British military regiments. The envelope is sealed with a wax seal, adding an air of antiquity and formality. Upon opening the envelope, one is greeted by the sight of three smartly-uniformed guardsmen standing at attention, their rifles at the ready. The guardsmen, dressed in their distinctive bearskin hats and red jackets, are shown saluting with their bayonets fixed to their rifles. The image exudes a sense of discipline, pride, and tradition, making it a fitting design for a Christmas card during the late Victorian era. The reverse side of the card bears a postmark from the year of its sending, allowing us to date the card with some degree of accuracy. This unique Christmas card offers a glimpse into the past, providing a connection to the history and traditions of the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of military service and the role it played in shaping the world we live in today. The guardsmen, with their stern yet proud demeanor, stand as symbols of strength, unity, and the enduring spirit of the holiday season.
