Two plump cherubs tumble across the front of this Christmas greeting card, a festive motif that Victorian printers reproduced in enormous numbers during the late nineteenth century. Cards like this one were sent by post to family and friends, and their printed sentiments and decorative borders reflected a booming commercial trade made possible by cheaper color lithography. Though filed under food and drink, the card belongs to a tradition of holiday ephemera that shows how the season was celebrated at home and across the mail.
