EDITORS COMMENTS
Birds of a Feather Flock Together: A Chilly Christmas and New Year's Eve Scene of Sandwich Board Men in the Late 1890s This charming and quaint image captures the spirit of camaraderie and perseverance during the festive season in the late 1890s. The photograph features a group of sandwich board men huddled together on a snowy street, their advertising boards stacked beside them. Dressed in heavy coats and hats, they appear to be taking a brief respite from their work, sharing stories and warmth as they wait for the holiday rush. The scene is set against the backdrop of a winter wonderland, with snowflakes gently falling from the sky and the crisp, cold air visible in each man's breath. A few dogs join the group, seeking shelter from the elements and perhaps a scrap of food from the men. The tranquil atmosphere is further emphasized by the absence of cars and modern technology, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The sandwich board men, a common sight on Victorian streets, were an essential part of the advertising landscape. They braved all weather conditions to promote various goods and services, making this image a poignant reminder of the dedication and resilience of the working class during the holiday season. As we admire this delightful Christmas and New Year card, we can't help but appreciate the sense of unity and companionship that transcends time. It's a beautiful reminder that even in the coldest of winters, we can find comfort and connection with those around us.
