EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrate the joy and innocence of the holiday season with this charming Victorian-era Christmas card featuring a toddler in delightful nursery rhyme scene. Dressed in a cozy pink jacket, yellow hat, and blue trousers, the little boy gazes at a humorous illustration of "Bye Baby Bunting," a classic nursery rhyme about a father's failed attempt to hunt rabbits for a warm bunting. The rhyme goes, "Bye baby bunting, Fathers gone a-hunting, To get a little rabbit skin, To wrap the baby bunting in." In the scene, a man in a hunter's costume, complete with a green bag and rifle, has fallen over, his rifle caught up in the branches of a tree. The rabbits, cleverly escaping, are shown basking in the sunset, their fur unharmed. This lighthearted and amusing depiction of a winter scene is reminiscent of the 1880s and 1890s, a time when Christmas cards became increasingly popular. The card's quaint and nostalgic design is perfect for spreading holiday cheer and adding a touch of whimsy to your seasonal greetings. Whether you're sending it to friends, family, or colleagues, this Christmas card is sure to bring a smile to their faces and create cherished memories.
