EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century Christmas card captures a playful and festive scene of ladies throwing snowballs at an old man. The chromolitho print, part of the Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, showcases the creativity and artistry that went into producing holiday greetings during this era. In the image, we see a group of elegantly dressed women in a snowy park engaging in a friendly snowball fight with an elderly gentleman. Despite his tattered clothing and white beard resembling Santa Claus, he appears to be enjoying the merriment just as much as they are. Laughter fills the air as snowballs fly through the cold winter air. The contrast between wealth and poverty is evident in this scene, with the well-dressed ladies playfully interacting with someone less fortunate. It serves as a reminder of compassion and generosity during the holiday season. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho print bring life to every detail - from the women's dresses to their hats adorned with holly berries. This artwork encapsulates both joyous celebration and social awareness within its frame. As we admire this vintage Christmas card, it invites us to reflect on our own traditions of spreading cheer while also considering those who may be less fortunate during this time of year.
