Angel Angels Birth Crosses Delicate Nativity Robe Robes Stars Wings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and intricately detailed Victorian Christmas card from the late 1890s features the image of two angels, their wings outstretched in a graceful display of serenity and joy. The angels are dressed in flowing, elegant robes of pink and white, their faces delicately rendered with gentle expressions. Above them, a radiant star shines brightly, its golden rays illuminating the scene. At the angels' feet, a silver cross rests, a symbol of the Christian faith that was deeply rooted in Victorian society. The delicate, grey background adds a sense of softness and tranquility to the image, while the intricate details of the angels' wings and robes showcase the skillful craftsmanship of the artist. The use of silver and pink hues adds a sense of elegance and sophistication, making this card a true treasure from a bygone era. Angels were a common motif in Victorian Christmas cards, representing the spiritual and religious themes that were central to the holiday season during this time. The nativity scene, with its focus on the birth of Jesus, was also a popular theme, and the presence of the star and cross in this card further emphasizes the religious significance of the season. This charming and historical Christmas card is a beautiful reminder of the rich traditions and cultural heritage of the Victorian era. Its intricate design and religious symbolism make it a cherished keepsake for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
