EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian Christmas card transports us back to a rainy day in the late 19th century. The beautifully colored lithograph depicts a lone fisherman braving the elements as he casts his line into the river. Ernest Henry Griset, renowned for his detailed and whimsical illustrations, expertly captures the atmosphere of this scene. The fisherman stands beneath an umbrella, shielding himself from the downpour while wearing a traditional hat adorned with festive decorations. A basket filled with his fishing gear sits at his side, including a bottle of wine perhaps intended for celebration later on. Despite the gloomy weather, there is an air of tranquility surrounding him. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the dampness in the air and hear the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops hitting water's surface. It serves as a reminder that even during inclement weather, nature still holds its allure and beauty. This Victorian Christmas card not only conveys holiday greetings but also celebrates resilience and perseverance in adverse conditions. It reminds us to find joy even amidst challenging circumstances and appreciate life's simple pleasures – like spending time outdoors pursuing our passions. With its nostalgic charm and timeless message, this print by Ernest Griset continues to captivate viewers over a century later.
