EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Victorian Christmas: Sun-Blinds and Comic Verse! Step back in time to the late 1890s and delight in this charming Christmas card featuring a sun-blind with a clever pun. The scene presents a quaint Victorian window adorned with striped sun-blinds, their stripes forming a playful contrast against the snowy landscape outside. But what's that hidden within the folds of the blind? A witty verse, of course! "Why so sad, Sun-Blinds? The shortest day's passed, And the longest night's done with its frosty gasps. Now, with Christmas cheer, we'll draw back the strings, And let the sunshine in, on twinkling strings." This Sun-Blind's sunny disposition is momentarily lifted, as it joins in the holiday spirit. The use of wordplay and puns was a popular trend during the Victorian era, adding a touch of humor to everyday life, even during the festive season. The card's intricate design, with its delicate illustrations and elegant typography, showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the Victorian Christmas card tradition. This unique piece of history is sure to bring a smile to your face and spread holiday cheer, as you share a piece of the past with your loved ones. So, let the sun-blinds rise and let the Christmas spirit shine in your home, as you celebrate the joy and warmth of the season.
