EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian image of a Dutch girl holding a bundle of mistletoe and holly against a backdrop of a rustic wooden cutout Christmas card. Dressed in traditional Dutch national costume, the girl wears a white blouse and apron, topped with a brown pinafore and a cap adorned with foliage. Her brown dress, complete with a belt and clogs, adds to the authenticity of her attire. The girl's youthful and innocent expression exudes the joy and excitement of the holiday season. She stands confidently, her arms outstretched, offering the mistletoe and holly to someone out of the frame. The foliage in her hands adds a touch of natural beauty to the scene, while the cutout card design adds a whimsical and playful touch. This charming photograph, taken circa 1890s, is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of the Christmas season during the late Victorian era. The use of natural foliage in the card design was a popular trend during this time, reflecting the appreciation for the natural world and the desire to bring the beauty of the outdoors into the home during the winter months. The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library preserves and shares precious moments from history, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the rich cultural traditions that continue to inspire us today.
