EDITORS COMMENTS
A whimsical blend of Christmas cheer and card game wit, this late Victorian holiday card from the 1890s presents an enchanting scene of playing cards coming to life on a festive tableau. The King, Queen, and Jack of Hearts, Nap, Luck, and Trumps, respectively, are depicted in jovial holiday attire, each holding a small Christmas stocking filled with treats. The comic verse below reads: 'Nap, Luck, and Trumps, with Hearts in hand, Have gathered round the festive board, To join in merriment grand, And share the joy that Christmas has stored. King Hearts, in furs and ermine trim, Snores softly, dreaming of his Queen, Whilst Jack, in motley, with a grin, Plots mischief, as Jacks will ever be. Queen Hearts, in satin and lace, Pours out the wine, her face aglow, And Nap, the Fool, with rosy cheeks, Is already nodding off, you know. So let us raise a glass and cheer, To Nap, Luck, and Trumps, and all they bring, May your New Year be filled with luck and cheer, And may your hand be strong, come what may, in playing!' This delightful card, with its clever wordplay and puns, invites us to appreciate the lighter side of the holiday season and the enduring appeal of a friendly card game.
