EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a unique piece of history - a Christmas card made entirely out of plastic, adorned with delicate hand-painted violets. Dating back to circa 1910, this extraordinary creation by an unknown English artist from the 19th century is now part of a private collection. The card's intricate design features embossed details that add depth and texture to the already vibrant violets. Each stroke of paint reveals the artist's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of these beautiful flowers in all their glory. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to a simpler era when handmade cards were cherished and treasured. This plastic masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and technological innovation during its time. While it may seem unconventional today, this Christmas card embodies the spirit of creativity and celebration that has long been associated with the holiday season. Its presence reminds us that even in times gone by, people found joy in expressing their love and well wishes through artful gestures. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical treasures like this one, we can continue to appreciate and marvel at such rare gems from our past. Let us cherish not only the sentiment behind this exquisite piece but also reflect on how far we have come since its creation over a century ago.
