EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful Victorian-era Christmas scene graces this charming postcard from the 1890s, featuring two adorable spaniel dogs snuggling in a cozy brass bed. The dogs, with their expressive faces and rosy noses, seem to be enjoying a leisurely morning in the festive spirit of the season. The caption playfully reads, "Two dogs in bed on a Christmas morning - breakfast in bed charged extra." The scene is filled with whimsical humor as the dogs, dressed in their own little Christmas attire, appear to be humanized in their behavior. One dog lies on its back, paws in the air, as if expecting to be served breakfast in bed. The other dog, with a mischievous glint in its eye, seems to be enjoying the scene and possibly even ringing a bell for attention, much like a human might do. The bedstead, adorned with red and green holiday garlands, adds to the festive ambiance. The dogs' bowls of biscuits and cups of drink are placed nearby, ready to be served. The postcard's intricate details, from the dogs' collar tags to the bedspread's embroidered design, showcase the high-quality craftsmanship of the time. This postcard is a charming reminder of the joy and humor that the holiday season brings, even to our beloved pets. It captures the essence of the Victorian era's love for animals and their humanized portrayal in art and literature.
