EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of Christmas past with this enchanting advertisement from the Illustrated London News, featuring a delightful selection of novelty presents from Parkins & Gotto, circa 1895. The advertisement showcases an array of unique and intriguing items that would have made perfect gifts during the Victorian era. Beginning with a pair of elegant lorgnettes, these folding glasses with ornate handles were a must-have accessory for any well-dressed gentleman or lady. Next, a letter clip and brush set, complete with a matching tray, would have ensured that correspondence was both stylish and immaculate. A matchbox holder, adorned with an intricate eagle design, would have been a practical and decorative addition to any home. For the more whimsical gift-giver, there was a paperweight in the shape of a handbag, crafted from Morocco leather. The advertisement also features a writing set, complete with an ornate bottle and a princess watch, both encased in beautiful Victorian-inspired design. Prices for these delightful novelties ranged from a few shillings to a more substantial investment for the writing set. This advertisement offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Christmas shopping during the 1890s, and serves as a reminder of the joy and wonder that comes with giving and receiving thoughtful and unique gifts.
