EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Christmas greetings card from the late 19th century showcases a delightful woodpecker dressed as a waiter or butler. The chromolitho print captures the whimsical nature of anthropomorphism, portraying animals in human-like roles and attire. The woodpecker is impeccably attired in a shirt and tie, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance. Its costume design is vibrant and colorful, adding to the festive atmosphere of the image. The attention to detail in its clothing reflects the craftsmanship of this period. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to a time when holiday celebrations were filled with joyous festivities. This card would have been sent to loved ones during Christmas, spreading cheer and merriment. The woodpecker's portrayal as a waiter or butler adds an element of humor to the scene. It brings together two contrasting worlds - that of wildlife animals and human society - creating a unique juxtaposition that sparks intrigue. This historical piece not only serves as a reminder of our rich past but also highlights the creativity and imagination prevalent during the 19th century. It invites us to appreciate artistry in unexpected places while celebrating the spirit of Christmas.
