EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and humorous Christmas card featuring three mischievous monkeys. Dressed in holiday attire and holding elegant fans, these playful primates bring a delightful touch of comic relief to the season. The monkeys, with their expressive faces and human-like poses, are reminiscent of the popular Japanese print, "The Three Wise Monkeys," which symbolizes the virtues of seeing no evil, hearing no evil, and speaking no evil. However, in this festive rendition, the monkeys seem to be up to no good, adding an amusing twist to the traditional theme. The intricately cut-out design of the card showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was prevalent during the Victorian era. The use of fans as a prop adds an element of sophistication and elegance to the scene, while the monkeys' mischievous grins and playful expressions evoke a sense of joy and merriment. This charming Christmas card is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of the Victorian era and the enduring appeal of animals in holiday traditions. It invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of the season, even as we face the challenges and complexities of the modern world.
