EDITORS COMMENTS
How Does this meet your Eye Dear! - A whimsical Victorian Christmas card captures the essence of festive humor and fashion trends in 19th century England. This chromolitho print, part of a private collection, showcases the creative genius of Angus Thomas, Ltd. , renowned for producing delightful holiday greetings. The illustration depicts a fashionable woman descending a grand staircase adorned with holly. With her fan in hand and sliding gracefully down the railings instead of using the banisters, she exudes confidence and playfulness. The artist skillfully combines social satire with merry Christmas cheer to create an amusing scene that would have brought smiles to many faces during the era. This charming artwork offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with both fashion and festivities. The elaborate clothing style worn by the woman reflects the prevailing trends of the time, while also showcasing German influences on English fashion. As we admire this historical gem from our present-day perspective, it reminds us of how traditions evolve over time while still retaining their core elements. It is through such artistic treasures that we can appreciate not only our shared history but also how celebrations like Christmas continue to bring joy across generations.
