EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite Victorian-era Christmas card, featuring four intricately designed oval vignettes. The first scene presents Cupid, the god of love, kneeling before a flaming altar, his arrow in hand, symbolizing the passion and intensity of love. The second vignette showcases Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, seated in a scalloped shell, surrounded by roses and other delicate flowers, embodying the grace and elegance of love. The third vignette brings Cupid back, this time accompanied by a pair of doves, the symbol of peace and fidelity in love. The final scene showcases a young man, dressed in white and gold, planting a tree adorned with garlands of flowers, corn, and wheat. This scene represents the growth and nurturing of love and the passing of time. The card's decorative border, with its elaborate edging, adds to the overall historical and romantic atmosphere. The use of mythological figures, such as Cupid and Venus, adds an element of timelessness and intrigue, making this card a true treasure from the 1890s. This beautiful piece of history invites us to reflect on the enduring power of love and the joy of the holiday season.
