EDITORS COMMENTS
A Very Early Christmas Card: The Robbin's Winter Welcome (circa 1860) Amidst the twinkling lights, festive decorations, and joyous carols that now define the holiday season, it is easy to forget that the origins of Christmas cards trace back to a simpler time. This image, titled "A Very Early Christmas Card: The Robbin's Winter Welcome," is a testament to the enduring charm of the robin as a symbol of the Christmas season, long before the commercialization of the holiday. The photograph, taken circa 1860, depicts a robin perched on a windowsill, its vibrant red breast contrasting against the wintery white background. The robin, a common sight in the United Kingdom, has long been associated with the arrival of Christmastide. In ancient times, the sighting of the first robin of the season was considered an auspicious sign, a harbinger of good fortune and happiness. The custom of exchanging Christmas cards can be traced back to the Victorian era, with the first recorded Christmas card being sent in 1843. However, the practice did not gain widespread popularity until the latter half of the 19th century. This charming photograph, with its historical significance and the warmth and cheer that the robin embodies, makes for a perfect early Christmas card. The image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the holiday season. As we adorn our homes with festive decorations and exchange heartfelt greetings with our loved ones, let us not forget the simple joys of the past, like the sight of a robin on a windowsill, that continue to make Christmas a magical time.
