EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and intricately detailed Victorian-era Christmas card from the 1890s. The card features a delightful scene of two vibrant red robins perched inside a gilded cage adorned with gold bars. The robins, with their bright yellow beaks and breasts, add a splash of color against the rich green background of the card. The robins' cage is nestled among a lush array of fruits, including oranges, grapes, and apples, arranged in woven baskets with intricately designed handles. A glass of red wine, perhaps symbolizing the festive spirit of the season, is placed nearby. The use of red and green colors, along with the robins, adds to the holiday theme. The card's cutout design allows the scene to appear three-dimensional, making it a true work of art. The intricate details of the cage, the baskets, and the robins themselves are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. This card would have been a cherished possession, sent to loved ones to spread holiday cheer and bring a touch of elegance and beauty to their mailbox. The Victorian era, known for its ornate designs and attention to detail, is reflected in every aspect of this card. From the gilded cage to the carefully arranged fruits and wine, this card is a true masterpiece that transports us back to a simpler time.
