Two Cherubic Angels Ringing a Bell: A Victorian Era Christmas Tradition This enchanting image captures the essence of the Victorian Christmas season with its depiction of two cherubic angels ringing a bell. Dating back to the late 1890s, this charming print showcases the gothic architecture of the era with its arched window and intricate details. The two angels, with their pink and white robes and blonde, curly hair, radiate a peaceful and happy demeanor as they ring the bell, signifying the joy and hope of the holiday season. The use of cherubs or angels as a motif in Victorian Christmas cards was a common practice, reflecting the religious and childlike associations often linked to the holiday. The angelic figures were believed to bring good fortune, blessings, and protection to those who displayed the cards in their homes. The two angels, with their wings spread out, add to the ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. The delicate details of their wings and the intricately designed halo on one of the angels further emphasize their divine nature. The soft, muted colors and the gentle expression on the faces of the angels create a sense of tranquility and serenity, making this print a beloved collectible and a cherished reminder of the magical and peaceful spirit of the Victorian Christmas season.
