EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of late Victorian Netherlands with this beautiful and intricately designed Christmas card from the 1890s. The front of the card showcases a charming Dutch girl in traditional national costume, complete with a bonnet adorned with ribbons and a long, flowing dress. Her rosy cheeks and bright smile exude the joy and warmth of the holiday season. But as you gently open the card, the scene takes a surprising turn. Beneath the Dutch girl's image, a Dutch boy in a woolen hat, scarf, and skates can be seen falling through the icy waters. The contrast between the festive girl and the harrowing scene of the boy's accident creates an intriguing juxtaposition, highlighting the unpredictability of winter and the importance of staying safe during the cold season. This exquisite Christmas card, with its intricate cut-out design and rich detail, transports us back to a bygone era. The traditional Dutch costumes and the wintery scene evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, making it a cherished addition to any holiday collection. As you send this card to your loved ones, let the story of the Dutch girl and boy serve as a reminder of the joy and potential danger that the winter season brings. May your holidays be filled with warmth, happiness, and a touch of adventure.
