EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and whimsical image of a kitten eagerly awaiting the arrival of its feline postman. Dated circa 1890s, this delightful cutout Christmas card features a playful scene of a postman in his uniform, complete with red and blue stripes, cap, and satchel, making his delivery to a house adorned with holly and ivy. The unexpected twist is the presence of a friendly kitten, peeking out from behind the door, ready to greet its postal friend. The card's design is further enhanced by the use of cutouts, allowing the postman and kitten to appear as if they are popping out from the page. The envelope, too, is intricately detailed, with elaborate floral patterns and a ribbon tie. This card is a testament to the creativity and imagination of the Victorian era, where even the humblest of traditions, such as sending Christmas cards, were elevated to an art form. The image of a cat postman delivering mail is a humanized representation of the postal service, adding a touch of warmth and humor to the holiday season. The kitten's anticipation and excitement are sure to bring a smile to the face of the recipient, making this card a cherished keepsake. This card is a beautiful reminder of the joy and wonder that the holiday season brings, and a delightful addition to any vintage Christmas card collection.
