EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the Victorian era with this charming and whimsical Christmas card image from the 1880s. Two beloved birds, an owl and a robin, are seen dressed in their finest evening attire, ready to attend a grand holiday soiree. The wise old owl, donning a smart top hat and a gold sash, exudes an air of dignity and importance, while the lively robin, adorned with a red bow and a ruffled shirt, adds a touch of playful humor to the scene. The backdrop of rich, velvety curtains with gold tassels further accentuates the festive and opulent atmosphere of the occasion. This delightful anthropomorphism of birds in humanized clothing is a testament to the creative and imaginative spirit of the late Victorian era. This beautiful card would make a unique and cherished addition to your holiday greetings, bringing a smile to the faces of your loved ones and transporting them to a magical and memorable Christmas past.
