EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Tart-mas! Witness the whimsical delight of this late Victorian Christmas card from the 1890s, featuring a Potato and Jam Tart that tickles the funny bone as much as it tempts the taste buds. The playful verse penned in elegant script reads: "Why sit you there, in sad dismay, With empty plate and frowning face? Here's a tart, both sweet and gay, To banish gloom and grace your space. But hark! What's this I see within? A potato, in a jam so fine, A curious dish, I grant you that, But why not try it, just for fun and fate? Take up the spoon, and taste with glee, The crust so crisp, the jam so sweet, And potato's savory company, Will make this Christmas merry, indeed, you'll see!" The card's charming illustration showcases a jovial potato, nestled amidst a luscious jam tart, its eyes wide with surprise and excitement, as a spoonful of jam is scooped up for tasting. The comic verse adds a delightful touch of wordplay and puns, making this Potato and Jam Tart a truly unique and humorous addition to any Victorian Christmas celebration. So, let us raise a spoonful of cheer and laughter, and embrace the spirit of the season with this delightful tart and its merry verse!
