EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the ring for a jolly old Christmas fight between this playful turkey and pudding in a charming Victorian-era boxing glove Christmas card from the late 1890s. The beige, padded gloves, reminiscent of the sport's early days, add an unexpected twist to the traditional holiday scene. The turkey, with a determined look in its eyes and a feathered fist raised high, squares off against a pudding wearing a festive holly sprig as a headband. The pudding, with a mischievous grin and a wobbling form, readies its own fist for a counterpunch. This comic card, filled with holiday humour and humanised animals, is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of the season. The open boxing glove shape adds an element of surprise and makes for a unique and intriguing Christmas card design.
