EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the Victorian era with this delightful image of four jovial pigs gathered around a festive spread on a cutout Christmas card. Dating back to the 1890s, this charming photograph captures the playful spirit of the holiday season. The pigs, dressed in smocks and donning friendly smiles, seem to be enjoying a hearty feast fit for the festivities. The centerpiece of their celebration is a plump goose, surrounded by an array of fruits, bottles of wine, and a steaming pudding. The pigs' humanized features and anthropomorphic qualities add a touch of humor and anthropomorphism to the scene. The pigs' rosy cheeks and contented expressions suggest that they are fully embracing the joy and merriment of the season. This card, with its intricate cutout design, would have been a cherished holiday keepsake for families during the late Victorian era. The image of pigs celebrating Christmas was a common motif in Victorian Christmas cards, representing abundance, good fortune, and the joys of the holiday season. This charming photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasures of life were celebrated with warmth and laughter.
