EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful and whimsical scene from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s, captured on this charming Christmas card. The image features a young boy, bundled up against the cold winter weather, riding on the back of a mule. His rosy cheeks and bright smile suggest that he is enjoying the snowy landscape around him, despite the potential for an impending accident. In the foreground, a snowman stands proudly, adorned with a top hat, scarf, and buttons made of coal. The boy, seemingly unaware of the snowman's presence, charges towards it, his mule's hooves kicking up clouds of snow. The snowman, made of freshly fallen snow, appears unphased by the collision, as if it were all part of the holiday fun. The card is further embellished with holly and other winter foliage, adding to the festive atmosphere. This quaint and humorous depiction of a winter accident offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the simple joys of the holiday season and the unexpected moments that can bring us laughter and delight.
