Vintage Victorian Christmas Card with Birds and Wheat Sheaf

The sparrows on this card appear to be having what looks like a deeply tense group therapy session on a pile of wheat stalks, one of them dramatically sprawled sideways like he just heard some devastating news. The one flying overhead has clearly chosen the dissociation coping strategy, while a pair of small blue flowers attempt to add some festive cheer to what is essentially a bird intervention. The Gothic red-and-blue lettering looms over the whole existential drama like a passive-aggressive reminder from management, and honestly, the aged, deckle-edged card just makes it feel like this ornithological breakdown has been haunting someone's attic for a century, waiting to ruin your holiday.
