EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design dates back to the 1890s and features a Victorian Christmas card set with Shakespearean themes. The design was created by the talented Robert Dudley, showcasing his exceptional artistic abilities. The image depicts a jester, dressed in Elizabethan and Jacobean attire, holding a key and a lock in his hands. The jester's mischievous grin and colorful costume add a playful and festive touch to the design. The set includes multiple cards, each featuring different Shakespearean subjects. The Elizabethan and Jacobean costumes, reminiscent of the Bard's time, add an authentic and historical feel to the cards. The use of rich colors and intricate details in the design further enhance their visual appeal. The jester, a common character in Shakespeare's plays, represents the spirit of drama and merriment. The lock and key symbolize the idea of opening up the joy and wonder of the holiday season. This set of Christmas cards is a beautiful and unique way to celebrate the festive occasion while paying homage to the enduring legacy of the great bard, William Shakespeare. The cover design and the cards within this set are a testament to the timeless appeal of Shakespeare's works and the Victorian era's love for the arts. The intricate details and the use of authentic costumes make this set a must-have for Shakespeare enthusiasts and collectors alike.
