EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful Victorian Christmas card image from the 1890s, featuring Father Christmas in a jolly, humanized form, carrying a large pudding on his back as he runs through a winter wonderland. The red-faced, white-bearded man, dressed in a blue coat and hat, is adorned with holly sprigs and wears a sack filled with toys slung over his shoulder. A playful pooch accompanies him, adding a touch of comic humor to the scene. The reverse side of the card reveals two charming poems, "The Collector" and "The Pudding That Cut Away." The first poem speaks of a collector who amasses treasures, but finds that true happiness comes from the simple joys of life, such as a hearty Christmas pudding. The second poem, "The Pudding That Cut Away," tells the story of a pudding that magically grows larger with each bite, only to shrink back to its original size once the meal is finished. This charming Christmas card image captures the spirit of the late Victorian era, with its anthropomorphic representation of Father Christmas and the use of anthropomorphism in the pudding poems. The scene is set in a winter wonderland, with snow falling gently and a tree standing tall in the background. The overall effect is one of warmth, joy, and nostalgia, making this a cherished holiday keepsake.
