Description

A cherubic angel child with delicate wings and shoulder-length brown curls dominates this charming Victorian-era Christmas greeting card. Dressed in an elegant pale blue-grey coat trimmed in white fur and rose-colored quilted fabric lining, the angelic figure wears a wide-brimmed white hat adorned with holly or greenery and blue ornamental accents. The angel clutches two gleaming golden bells in one hand and holds a third bell in the other—a classic symbol of Christmas joy and heavenly tidings. Standing on a soft blue-green ground, this die-cut composition exemplifies the sentimental religious iconography and refined chromolithographic printing techniques that made Victorian greeting cards treasured keepsakes.
