Victorian Christmas Greeting Card: Girl with Doll & Decorated Tree

The golden-haired girl in her pale blue-green dress seems utterly convinced she didn't just claim her little sister's Christmas gift, clutching a Victorian doll—complete with its own tiny purple dress and little black shoes—while posing next to a candle-lit Christmas tree with the world's smuggest holiday confidence. The doll, meanwhile, hangs in her white-gloved grip with the resigned energy of someone who has accepted their fate. The ornate gold and holly border frames the whole scene with maximum gilded grandeur, as if to say: yes, this flex deserved a decorative border.
