EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian hold-to-light Christmas card takes us back in time to the enchanting era of the 19th century. The beautifully colored lithograph depicts a heartwarming scene of Mary and Jesus on a donkey, accompanied by Joseph, as they journey through the desert. As if touched by magic, this unique greeting card reveals its hidden secret when held in front of a light source. When illuminated, an angel gracefully appears before our eyes, adding an ethereal touch to this already divine composition. The delicate details and vibrant colors transport us into a world where angels roam freely and miracles unfold. The Holy Family's presence is truly felt as they traverse the desert landscape with pyramids towering in the distance. This extraordinary piece captures not only their physical journey but also symbolizes their spiritual voyage towards Bethlehem. As we admire this remarkable novelty card, it serves as a reminder of the true meaning behind Christmas - love, faith, and hope. It encapsulates both joyous anticipation and profound reverence for the miracle that took place centuries ago. Preserved within a private collection today, this exquisite work from English School showcases the artistry and ingenuity prevalent during Victorian times. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century has passed since its creation.
