EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful scene of holiday mischief unfolds in this late Victorian Christmas card image from the 1890s. Six little boys, dressed in white nightshirts or nighties, engage in a turbulent pillow fight in the cozy confines of a bedroom. The boys' shoes and the disheveled bedsheets and blankets on the floor attest to the chaos that has ensued. One boy clings to a bolster for dear life as another swings a pillow with great force. The boys' faces are filled with the joy and excitement of their playful antics. The room is adorned with wrought iron decorations and a notice on the wall reads, "Love one another." This reminder of the true spirit of the holiday season is a stark contrast to the fun and enjoyment the boys are having. The boys' mischievous grins and the notice on the wall create a charming juxtaposition of naughty behavior and the importance of love and kindness. This historical photograph captures the essence of childhood and the playful spirit of the holiday season in the late 1800s. The image invites us to remember the simple joys of childhood and the importance of love and laughter in our lives, even during the most chaotic of moments.
