Weird Victorian Christmas Cards – Set of 5 | Collection 2

A collection of five wonderfully weird Victorian Christmas cards, reproduced from genuine 19th-century designs.

Long before Christmas cards settled into familiar scenes of robins, snowy cottages and Father Christmas, their Victorian predecessors could be considerably stranger. Dancing food, umbrella-carrying frogs, anthropomorphic cats, sinister-looking goats and a turkey apparently exacting revenge all found their way into festive greetings.

Carefully restored from original Victorian cards, these five designs preserve the colour, character and wonderfully peculiar details of the period artwork.

- 5 different Victorian Christmas card designs
- Blank inside for your own message
- Deep green envelopes included
- 5 × 7 in (12.7 × 17.8 cm)

A little piece of Christmas history

Turn each card over to find the title and approximate date of the original Victorian design, together with a framed detail from the artwork. The fully printed backs have been individually designed to complement each card.

Together, the five cards offer a glimpse into the wonderfully eccentric world of Victorian Christmas greetings - sometimes charming, sometimes funny and occasionally rather unsettling.

Printed in rich colour on silk-finish art card, giving the original illustrations depth and vibrancy while retaining their vintage character. Each card comes with a deep green envelope, chosen to complement the rich reds, aged creams and period colours of the artwork.

Printed in the UK using eco-friendly toner on card made from sustainably sourced pulp and produced as part of the Carbon Capture Programme.

Also available: individual cards and another set of five and ten.
