Coach Cold Holly Sentimental Snowy Verse Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian New Year card from the 1870s, featuring two little girls bundled up against the cold winter weather, playing in the snowy countryside. Dressed in their best red and blue hats and coats, they gaze up at each other with rosy cheeks and smiles, their breath visible in the crisp air. In the background, a horse-drawn coach passes through a snow-covered gate, adding to the rustic charm of the scene. The sentiment on the card reads, "May the New Year bring you warmth in the coldest of winters, and joy in the simplest of things. May your days be filled with laughter, and your nights with peace." The use of holly and other winter foliage adds to the festive spirit of the season. This charming card is a reminder of the innocence and joy of childhood, and the simple pleasures of a rural winter's day. The history and tradition of sending New Year cards dates back to the 1840s in Europe, and this beautiful example showcases the sentimental and artistic qualities that made them so popular during the Victorian era.
