EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a charming scene from the 1890s with this delightful postcard featuring Holly, the anthropomorphic holly bush, enjoying a jolly skating session on a frozen pond during a wintry Christmas scene. Dressed in a red knitted sweater and green felt hat adorned with holly leaves and berries, Holly glides gracefully on her skates, leaving a trail of laughter and cheer in her wake. Surrounded by the pristine beauty of the rural winter landscape, the quaint houses and cottages nestled among the trees add to the idyllic atmosphere. The crisp, white snow blankets the ground, making each footstep a crunchy delight. The air is filled with the scent of pine and woodsmoke, and the sound of joyful laughter echoes through the stillness. But even the most skilled skater can have a moment of mishap, and Holly, with a twinkle in her eye, takes a playful tumble, her skates skidding on the ice. The comic element of the scene adds a touch of lightheartedness and humour, making this postcard a cherished keepsake for the holiday season. This charming, humanised holly scene is a beautiful reminder of the simple joys of winter and the magic of the Christmas season. A must-have for collectors of vintage postcards and those who appreciate the whimsy of anthropomorphism, this postcard is a treasure from The David Pearson Collection, now available for purchase through Mary Evans Prints Online.
