The Robin's Last Carol - Greetings Card
A darkly whimsical Christmas card inspired by Victorian folklore, featuring a hand illustrated fallen robin above the greeting: “May Your Christmas Be Merry and Joyful.”
In Victorian times, the sight of a dead robin was steeped in symbolism - believed to be a memento mori, a gentle reminder of life’s fragility, fate, and the thin veil between joy and sorrow in the winter season. Yet robins were also seen as messengers of the soul, bringing protection and carrying hopes from the earthly world to the next.
This card blends that curious Victorian sensibility - the pairing of festive cheer with a quiet nod to mortality. Making it a wonderfully macabre, historically inspired choice for those who appreciate dark humour, folklore, and antique Christmas tradition.
Printed on thick 300gsm luxury paper. Accompanied by a Kraft brown envelope.
The inside of the card is blank for you to write your own Christmas message.
A5 size and beautiful enough to be framed too.
