EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century Christmas card titled "The Goblins Greeting" captures the essence of Victorian Era festivities. The chromolitho print, part of a private collection, showcases an intricate illustration by an English School artist. In this whimsical scene, Father Christmas is depicted surrounded by jovial goblins who have come to extend their holiday wishes. Amidst the merriment, we see Santa enjoying a glass of wine and smoking a cigar while holding onto his trusty tobacco box. Horseshoes adorn the walls as symbols of good luck, and winter holly adds a festive touch to the surroundings. This delightful image transports us back in time to an era when social gatherings were filled with laughter and cheer. The detailed illustrations reflect not only English traditions but also influences from Germany and other parts of Europe. It's fascinating to observe how different cultures contributed to the development of Christmas customs during this period. As we admire this vintage piece, it serves as a reminder that despite changing times, certain elements remain timeless in our celebrations – be it sharing drinks with loved ones or exchanging greetings during the holiday season. This artwork encapsulates both history and nostalgia while evoking feelings of joy and warmth associated with Christmas festivities throughout generations.
