Victorian Merry Christmas Greeting Card with Bells and Robins

The card's cheerful 'Merry Christmas' message clashes oddly with a scene of three plump birds with rust-red and orange chests huddled together on a branch beneath three enormous brass bells, all connected by ribbons that drape through the scene like the decorating choices of someone who panic-bought everything at the Victorian craft store. The middle bird appears to be whispering something deeply inappropriate to the one on its left, while the rightmost bird stares into the middle distance with the hollow expression of someone who has seen things. The gold script 'Merry Christmas' written directly beneath the bells feels like the artist's desperate attempt to make absolutely sure you knew this was festive and not, in fact, a nature documentary about birds experiencing a collective existential crisis.
