The Woolson Spice Co's. Christmas Greeting
Description
Framed within a two-scene composition set in a snowy forest landscape, this Victorian Christmas greeting from the Woolson Spice Co. presents contrasting moments of winter life. The upper vignette captures a group of men gathered inside a rustic cabin or bunkhouse interior, while below, a hunter in period dress takes aim with his rifle at a deer standing in the snow, surrounded by evergreen forests with detailed tree bark and snow-covered ground.
