New Year Greetings
Description
Four cherubic angels with rosy cheeks and delicate white wings share a celestial vision of New Year celebration, clustering around a prominent golden star while cradling evergreen sprays in a heavenly procession against a dreamy blue starlit sky. A white banner/ribbon arcs across the composition, with a radiant beam of pale yellow light emanating below the central star, drawing focus to the elegant script reading 'New Year Greetings' within its glow. Gold stars scatter throughout the composition, enhancing the magical, transcendent quality typical of late 19th-century holiday ephemera.
