Description

Dressed in flowing cream and ivory garments complete with feathered wings and a delicate bonnet, this angelic Victorian-era child stands upon a snowy base holding a single lit candle that glows with warm yellow-orange tones. The cherub-faced figure exemplifies the meticulous chromolithographic printing that captured fine details in facial features and soft fabric texturing, creating a tender, devotional quality characteristic of late 19th-century Christmas imagery. This die-cut design showcases the sentimental religious iconography popular during the Victorian holiday season.
