Victorian Christmas Wishes Poinsettia Greeting Card

Like a modern maximalist Pinterest board colliding with an antique shop, this Edwardian-era fever dream features two aggressively large poinsettias flanking an oval vignette of a snow-dusted village at golden-hour sunset, the whole thing slapped onto a mottled green background that looks like someone sneezed on expensive wallpaper. The typography is doing the absolute most — each capital letter in 'With Best Christmas Wishes' gets its own little jewel-toned decorative initial, because apparently one font wasn't enough of a cry for help. Copyright John Winsch, 1910, who clearly looked at this maximalist floral-landscape-calligraphy collision and thought, yes, this is exactly the restraint Christmas deserves.
