Victorian Christmas Girl Die-Cut Card 1880s-1890s
Description
Against a pale blue background that sets a festive winter mood, this charming Victorian die-cut greeting card presents a young girl in an elaborate Christmas costume of deep crimson velvet trimmed with white fur. The child wears a matching fur-trimmed hat adorned with a white floral decoration and a pink/red sash bow at the waist. She holds a pair of ice skates in one hand while her other hand is held in front of her, her golden curled hair framing a sweet expression. Standing on a snowy cloud base in dark teal stockings and brown leather boots, she embodies the festive holiday spirit typical of late Victorian greeting cards.
