A Jolly Christmas Without an Upset! - A Delightful Victorian Football Match between Canine Teams
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this charming and comical Christmas card from the late 19th century, we are transported to a whimsical world where dogs take center stage in a thrilling football match. The English School's color lithograph captures the essence of festive cheer as anthropomorphic pug players, dressed up in their finest sporting attire, engage in a spirited game. The canine footballers exhibit remarkable skill and determination as they chase after the ball with tails wagging and tongues panting. Spectators line the field, eagerly watching every move with great amusement. The Victorian-era charm is further enhanced by some spectators using walking sticks or canes to support themselves while enjoying this delightful spectacle. This playful scene not only showcases the love for sports but also highlights the imaginative nature of holiday celebrations during that era. It reminds us that even our furry friends can partake in joyous festivities and bring smiles to our faces. Displayed at the National Football Museum in Manchester, UK, this vintage gem from Bridgeman Images perfectly encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and merriment associated with both Christmas and football. It serves as a heartwarming reminder that no matter who takes to the field – be it humans or adorable four-legged companions – sport has always been able to unite us all in laughter and good cheer during this special time of year.
