DAY 10: 12 DAYS OF VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS CARDS
It's Day 10 of '12 Days of Victorian Christmas Cards' and I have a real treat for you today. Continuing with the animals and birds theme, here is a wonderful card from the 1880s:
It features two beautiful owls flying in the moonlight while wearing top hats. One of them has an intriguing key around its neck.
The reason may be found in a second card which makes up the pair:
I think the owls in top hats are possibly a bridegroom and his best man, and that the second card shows the bride owl in her bonnet with her new husband at her side. How very romantic!
