EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a whimsical world of holiday merriment with this charming late Victorian Christmas card from the 1890s. The image features a cheerful robin perched on a snow-covered tree branch, surrounded by the vibrant reds and greens of the season. The robin, with its bright, curious eyes and plump, red breast, is a beloved symbol of Christmas in the United Kingdom. But this isn't an ordinary robin. On the tree below, a mischievous goblin peeks out from behind a plate of steaming Christmas pudding. The goblin, with his pointed hat and wicked grin, adds an element of comic humor to the scene. The pudding, adorned with a dusting of powdered sugar and a cherry on top, is a traditional holiday dessert, representing good fortune and prosperity. The card's decorative white edge and edging add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the design. The overall effect is a delightful blend of the festive, the humorous, and the beautiful. This card would have been a cherished holiday greeting, sent to friends and family to spread joy and cheer during the Christmas and New Year season.
