EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Victorian Mishap: A Man's Wintery Struggle on a Snowy Christmas Card, Circa 1890s This delightful and charming Christmas card image captures the essence of the late Victorian era with its quirky sense of humor. The scene depicts a man, bundled up against the cold in a heavy coat, hat, and scarf, attempting to navigate through a snowy countryside with an oversized black umbrella. However, the wind, relentless in its wintery fury, has blown the umbrella the wrong way, leaving the man drenched and red-faced. In his struggle, he has dropped some of his shopping, a basket of fruit and a goose, adding to the comedic situation. Two children, bundled up in their winter gear, watch the scene unfold with amusement, their laughter echoing in the crisp winter air. The grey, mistletoe-adorned sky completes the idyllic, yet humorous, winter scene. This historical card is a testament to the spirit of the late Victorian era, where even in the midst of adversity, there was always room for a good laugh. The image is reminiscent of a time when Christmas cards were handmade and personal, and the joy and humor of the season were captured in intricate detail. This card is a must-have for any collector of vintage Christmas cards or those who appreciate the history and charm of the late Victorian era.
