EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian-era Christmas card, dated circa 1890s, features a delightful scene of five beloved British birds gathered around a festive table for a "Wedding Breakfast." The central focus of the image is a proud Cock Robin, flanked by three playful robins, all perched on the edge of a large, white-cloth-covered table. A curious Wren peeks in from the doorway, adding an element of surprise and whimsy to the scene. The birds appear to be enjoying a hearty meal, with Cock Robin and his companions feasting on a succulent crust from a pie, while the Wren quenches its thirst from a bottle. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the scene is further emphasized by the orange and red hues of the birds and the cozy, rustic setting. This beautiful card, which showcases the natural beauty and charm of the British countryside, would have been a cherished addition to a Victorian family's Christmas celebrations. The image of the birds gathered together around a table, sharing a meal, evokes feelings of community, joy, and abundance – making it a fitting representation of the holiday spirit. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes of the illustration are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Victorian era's masterful printmakers. This card is a wonderful reminder of the simple pleasures and enduring traditions of Christmas past.
