EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian Christmas card, featuring a delightful scene of a cozy house nestled in the wintery landscape. The quaint, red-brick house, adorned with evergreen wreaths and holly, stands proudly with its snow-covered roof and frost-covered windows. Inside, a mother and children huddle around the fireplace, warming their hands and sharing the joy of the holiday season. Exterior, a postman in his distinctive uniform and tall hat braves the icy conditions to make his delivery. He carries a large sack full of letters and parcels, knocking gently on the door with a gloved hand. The house, with its welcoming front door and intricate knocker, beckons the postman to leave his packages for the eagerly awaiting family within. This beautiful Christmas card, in the shape of a house, transports us to a simpler time, where the warmth of home and the joy of the holiday season brought people together. The card, from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a wonderful reminder of the enduring traditions and heartwarming moments of the Christmas season in the late 1890s.
