EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming comic Christmas card from the late 1890s, featuring a butcher boy and a housemaid in a festive winter scene. The image exudes the spirit of the Victorian era with its green door, railings, and snow-covered area. The butcher boy, dressed in a striped apron and holding a meat tray, delivers a large piece of meat to the housemaid at the window. Her curious expression and the playful look on the butcher boy's face add a touch of humor to the scene. The housemaid, bundled up against the cold weather, is surrounded by the warmth and coziness of her home. The window frame creates a heart shape, suggesting a connection between the two figures and hinting at a possible romance. The comic element of the card adds a light-hearted touch to the traditional Christmas card, making it a delightful addition to any holiday collection. The butcher boy and housemaid trade, an essential part of Victorian life, is depicted in a humorous and endearing way. The card's historical significance and its ability to evoke the spirit of the past make it a treasure for those who appreciate the rich history of Christmas cards.
