Up the Hill to Post a Christmas Card
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating original artwork by an unidentified artist, circa 1937, showcased in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library. This evocative image transports us back in time to the heartwarming spirit of the 1930s holiday season. A little girl, bundled up against the winter chill, climbs determinedly up a snow-covered hill. Her pet Scottie dog, a loyal companion, follows closely behind, its ears flapping in the cold wind. The girl's focus is on the distant post box perched atop the hill, a symbol of connection and communication during the festive season. The artwork is rendered in beautiful shades of blue and black, creating a striking silhouette against the pristine white snow. The tree branches, adorned with twinkling lights and ornaments, frame the scene, adding to the magical atmosphere. As the girl reaches the post box, she sends off her Christmas cards, one by one, each with a personal message and a heartfelt verse. The act of sending cards was an essential part of the holiday tradition during this era, and this artwork beautifully encapsulates the essence of that time. The image of the little girl and her faithful dog, climbing the hill to post their Christmas cards, is a timeless reminder of the joy and warmth that the holiday season brings, even in the face of adversity. This original artwork is a treasure trove of nostalgia and a must-have for anyone who cherishes the holiday spirit and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
