Anthropomorphism Cooking Culinary Humanised Legs Live Poultry Pudding Saucepan Sweet
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical Christmas card image from the late 1890s. The scene features a young boy, dressed in holiday attire, standing next to a live turkey and a saucepan filled with pudding on a rustic wooden table. The turkey, with its expressive face and humanized features, seems to smile back at the boy as he reaches out to touch its feathers. The little boy, with rosy cheeks and robe, gazes at the pudding in the saucepan, perhaps anticipating the sweet treat that will soon be cooked for the holiday feast. The card's decorative border, adorned with holly leaves and berries, adds to the festive atmosphere. The use of anthropomorphism in the turkey and the smiling faces of the boy and the turkey adds a touch of warmth and delight to this historical image. The culinary scene, with the turkey and the pudding, also highlights the importance of food and cooking during the Christmas season. This card is a delightful reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season and the traditions that have been passed down through generations. The late Victorian era, with its focus on family and tradition, is beautifully captured in this image. The use of natural materials, such as the wooden table and the holly border, further emphasizes the connection to the natural world and the importance of enjoying the simple pleasures of life during the holiday season.
