EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the Victorian era with this enchanting and ironic Christmas card image from the 1890s. The scene unfolds as two mischievous goblins, dressed in red and black, drag a live turkey along with them on a snowy winter's day. The turkey, with its feathers ruffled and eyes wide with surprise, is being prodded and pulled by the goblins, who are grinning mischievously as they lead the bird through a thicket of brambles and thorns. The irony of the situation is not lost on us - the very creature that is traditionally the centerpiece of a Christmas feast is being hunted down and dragged along by these playful goblins. The snowy landscape and cold weather add to the wintery charm of the scene, making it a delightful and humorous take on the holiday season. This charming and historic Christmas card is a testament to the enduring power of irony and humor in holiday traditions. The image of goblins with a turkey is a reminder that even in the most traditional of settings, there is always room for a bit of mischief and fun. The goblins, with their pointed ears and elfin features, add an element of fantasy to the scene, transporting us to a magical world where the unexpected and the delightful come together. This card is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the quirks and ironies of the holiday season and the rich history of Christmas card design.
