EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Victorian Christmas: Tap of Gold, the Generous Giver! 'Tis the season of merriment and giving, as the late 1800s embrace the joyous spirit of the festive month. In this delightful Christmas card from the 1890s, a jovial figure named Tap of Gold pours out an endless stream of golden coins, spreading wealth and cheer. The comic verse that accompanies this heartwarming scene reads: "Here's a Merry Christmas card, With a Tap that's full of gold, Pouring forth his wealth, so bold, To make your heart both young and old, Happy Christmas to you all!" The intricate design of the card, reminiscent of the Victorian era, showcases a metal tap atop a golden barrel, pouring out an endless supply of coins. The tap's handle is adorned with a holly wreath, adding a festive touch to the scene. The playful pun in the verse, "Tap of Gold," adds a layer of wordplay and verbal humor that was popular during the late Victorian era. The image of Tap pouring out money also symbolizes the spirit of giving and abundance that is synonymous with the Christmas season. This charming Christmas card, with its intricate design and comic verse, serves as a reminder of the joy and merriment that the season brings, as well as the importance of generosity and goodwill towards all. As we admire this beautiful piece of Victorian history, let us embrace the spirit of giving and joy that Tap of Gold embodies, and wish for a Merry Christmas to all!
