Vintage Christmas Card Winter Scene with Red Flowers

Enormous aggressive red chrysanthemums looming from the right side and a dead, skeletal tree presiding over a bleak, snow-covered wasteland imply something far darker than festive cheer. Two small dark figures trudge beneath this botanical threat display while the card's overall composition commits fully to the baffling Victorian design philosophy of 'what if flowers, but make them terrifying and seasonally inappropriate.' Signed by M. Morris in the lower left corner, even the gold holly in the upper corner can't quite convince you this is festive—the vibe remains two exhausted children being stalked by sentient flowers in a frozen hellscape.
