EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian Christmas card captures the joy and innocence of childhood during the holiday season. In this beautifully colored lithograph, we see a group of children eagerly building a snowman in the winter wonderland of 1880. The image is filled with festive details, from their warm hats and scarves to the holly adorning their clothing. The boys are seen cheerfully working together, one holding a shovel while another carefully shapes the snowman's body. Meanwhile, two girls excitedly watch on as they wait for their turn to join in on the fun. The scene exudes merriment and camaraderie as these young ones engage in timeless winter traditions. Amidst all the laughter and playfulness, it's hard not to notice one boy puffing on a pipe – a reminder that even back then, some customs were different than what we might expect today. Nevertheless, this nostalgic snapshot transports us back to an era when simple pleasures like building snowmen brought immense delight. As we gaze upon this delightful Victorian Christmas card print, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for times gone by. It serves as a heartwarming reminder that no matter how much time passes or how our traditions evolve, there will always be something magical about celebrating Christmas with loved ones – just like these children did over 140 years ago.
