EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming turn-of-the-century Christmas card featuring two delightful cutouts. On the left, a playful snowball with a sprig of holly, its red berries and glossy leaves contrasting against the pristine white snow. The snowball's torn edges add a touch of rustic charm, evoking the joyful winter scenes of the Victorian era. On the right, a tabby kitten peeks out from behind a mistletoe branch, its curious eyes and soft fur adding a delightful touch of whimsy. The kitten's round, circular shape complements the snowball's perfectly, creating a visually balanced and harmonious design. The intricate details of the cutouts showcase the skill and artistry of the craftsman who created them. The delicate shapes of the holly leaves and mistletoe berries, as well as the kitten's fur and expressive features, are all rendered with remarkable precision and care. This beautiful card, dating back to the late 1890s, captures the spirit of the holiday season during a bygone era. The combination of winter wonderland and adorable feline companionship makes it a timeless treasure that continues to delight and inspire us today.
