EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian Christmas card transports us back to a bygone era, where cats and kittens take center stage in the holiday festivities. The scene depicts a cozy fireplace adorned with stockings and garlands, emanating warmth and cheer. A group of adorable feline friends gather around the hearth, their mischievous eyes reflecting the flickering flames. In this whimsical tableau, we witness these furry companions indulging in a delightful treat - bowls filled with milk or cream. To our surprise, they are not using their tongues but rather dainty spoons to sip from their vessels. This anthropomorphic touch adds an endearing element to the artwork, blurring the lines between human and animal behavior. The vibrant colors of this color lithograph capture the festive spirit of Christmas perfectly. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the intricate patterns on each cat's fur to the delicate ornaments hanging above them. It is evident that this card was created with love and care during a time when handwritten greetings were cherished. Accompanying this enchanting image is a poem or verse that likely conveys warm wishes for the holiday season. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but feel nostalgic for simpler times when celebrating Christmas meant gathering around loved ones - even if those loved ones happened to be adorable feline companions!
