Three Educated Owls - A Victorian New Year's Greeting from the Countryside
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming late Victorian New Year card, three wise owls, dressed in academic gowns and donning spectacles, gather around a mortar board and quill pen, as if in the midst of a scholarly discussion. The snowy landscape behind them, with its barren trees and icy branches, speaks to the winter season and the passing of another year. The owls' brown feathers, marked with intricate patterns, contrast beautifully against the crisp white snow. The card's border is adorned with a rustic signpost and a quaint cottage nestled in the countryside, adding to the sense of rural tranquility and the passing of time. The verse at the bottom reads, "May the New Year bring you wisdom, health, and happiness, as these learned owls bestow their blessings upon you." This delightful image, with its anthropomorphic and humanized elements, showcases the Victorian fascination with owls as symbols of wisdom and learning. The use of glasses and academic regalia adds a playful touch, making these owls not only wise but also charming and endearing. The card's historical significance lies in its representation of the Victorian era's appreciation for nature, learning, and the passing of time. As we gaze upon this beautiful card, we are transported back to a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of the countryside and the wisdom of nature held great value. The three educated owls, with their scholarly air and wintery setting, serve as a reminder that wisdom and learning are timeless gifts that can be cherished throughout the New Year and beyond.
