EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian Christmas card transports us to a whimsical underwater world, where two water babies joyfully ride atop a majestic seahorse. Created by the talented artist Gertrude Thompson in 1895, this color lithograph showcases her exceptional attention to detail and imaginative flair. The enchanting scene is brought to life with vibrant hues and intricate patterns. Surrounding the water babies are delicate sea anemones swaying gracefully in the currents, while a lively shoal of fish dances alongside them. The children's innocent expressions exude pure delight as they embark on their aquatic adventure. Thompson's creation not only captures the magic of Christmas but also celebrates the wonders of nature. The seamless fusion of fantasy and reality invites viewers into a realm where imagination knows no bounds. As we admire this timeless masterpiece, we are reminded of the innocence and wonder that childhood brings. The nakedness of these cherubic figures symbolizes their purity and connection with nature, emphasizing their carefree spirit. This exquisite print from a private collection evokes nostalgia for simpler times while showcasing Thompson's artistic brilliance. It serves as both a delightful greeting card and an exquisite piece of art that can be cherished for generations to come.
