EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical Victorian Christmas card image, featuring an unusual assembly of birds at the Wolf Hairdressers. Dated circa 1890s, this delightful print showcases two turkeys and a goose, each adorned with holiday ribbons and bows, preparing for their annual winter trim. The anthropomorphic animals, dressed in human attire, sit patiently on wooden stools as their canine barber, a wolf in a barber's apron, readies his tools - a pair of scissors and a brush. The scene is filled with comic humor and a touch of historical intrigue. The turkeys and goose seem to be in good spirits, their feathers ruffled in anticipation of their haircut. This card is a testament to the playful and imaginative spirit of the late Victorian era, where animals were often personified and anthropomorphized in everyday life. This enchanting image is a wonderful addition to any holiday collection and a delightful conversation starter during the festive season.
