EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up to this enchanting early 20th century Christmas card featuring a jolly clown writing on a child's slate. The intricately detailed trompe l'oeil (trick of the eye) design invites us to peer closer and imagine the merriment of a circus tent or schoolroom setting. The clown, dressed in his classic red and white costume with a pointed hat and ruff, holds a pen in hand, ready to scribble a message on the wooden slate. The slate's chalk dust residue and the childlike scrawl add to the playful and nostalgic charm of the image. This delightful Christmas card is a testament to the rich history of holiday traditions and the enduring appeal of the clown character. The use of a slate, a common educational tool of the time, adds a touch of whimsy and humor to the season's greetings. The clown's painted face, with its exaggerated features and expressive smile, brings joy and merriment to the occasion. The card's frame, with its intricate design and ornate details, adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to the overall presentation. This beautiful piece of history is a must-have for collectors of vintage Christmas cards, antique toys, and circus memorabilia. Transport yourself back in time and let the magic of this charming clown bring a smile to your face this holiday season.
