EDITORS COMMENTS
Behold I bring you Glad Tidings: A captivating image of an angel playing a trumpet against the backdrop of a serene winter sky graces this late Victorian Christmas card from the 1890s. The ethereal figure, with her golden blonde hair cascading down her shoulders and delicately spread wings, gazes downwards, her expression one of profound joy and satisfaction. The angel's trumpet, a symbol of fanfare and musical announcement, is raised to her lips, ready to broadcast the glad tidings of the birth of Christ. The card's design is steeped in history and tradition. The angel's white robes and wings, along with the lush, green and black background, evoke the classic aesthetic of the Victorian era. The use of lilies and other flowers adds to the card's beauty and completes the scene of a peaceful, idyllic winter wonderland. The trumpet, a brass musical instrument, adds an element of grandeur and importance to the card, emphasizing the significance of the message being shared. The angel's posture and expression, along with the fanfare of the trumpet, convey the excitement and joy of the Christmas season. This beautiful and intricately detailed card is a testament to the rich history of Christmas traditions and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and bring people closer together during the holiday season.
