EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of Christmas and New Year celebrations from the Victorian era, as depicted in this two-page spread from an antique greeting card. Dating back to the 1890s, this exquisite card design invites us to explore the delightful company of a Police Sergeant, a Clown, and a Jester. The left-hand page showcases a jovial Police Sergeant standing before a green door adorned with holly and ivy, his uniform smartly pressed and his expression filled with holiday cheer. The door, framed by two smaller doors, hints at the promise of warmth and merriment within. On the right-hand page, a Clown and a Jester engage in a lighthearted exchange, their colourful costumes and exaggerated expressions adding to the festive atmosphere. The Clown, with his red nose and oversized shoes, holds a lantern, while the Jester, with his cap and bells, points to a goose's head, suggesting a playful joke. This charming card design encapsulates the spirit of Christmas and New Year celebrations during the Victorian era, a time when entertainment, fun, and humour played an essential role in bringing people together. The card's intricate details and historical significance make it a wonderful addition to any collection of antique greeting cards or Christmas decorations.
