Victorian Christmas Angel Card with Child & Winter Landscape

The angel's proportions are wildly off—her body impossibly elongated, the baby she cradles roughly the size of a large melon cradled at arm's length like she's deciding whether to keep the receipt. Somehow, a winged figure hovering over a tiny snow-dusted village church while holding a glowing infant at decidedly uncomfortable distance—giving the whole scene a distinctly 'divine kidnapping in progress' energy—struck the Victorian artist as the perfect embodiment of 'festive holiday cheer,' which is why it's bookended with a cheerful diagonal stripe of pink and white lilies screaming 'A Merry Christmas.' Meanwhile, in the upper right corner, a completely separate architectural scene—columns, an archway, some cypress trees—just hangs out like a vacation postcard that got lost and ended up in the wrong card, because apparently one unsettling vignette wasn't enough.
