EDITORS COMMENTS
Jingle all the way! These whimsical feline friends are pedaling their way into a Victorian Christmas celebration like no other. Captured in this charming color lithograph from 1880, four cats donning festive attire take center stage on penny farthing bicycles, bringing joy and merriment to all who lay eyes upon them. Anthropomorphic and full of holiday cheer, these mischievous kittens embody the spirit of Christmas with their playful antics. As they gracefully balance atop their towering penny farthings, it's as if they're performing a merry dance through time. The intricate details of the litho capture every whisker and twinkle in their mischievous eyes. This delightful greeting card transports us back to an era when poetry and verse were cherished forms of communication during the Yuletide season. With its delicate rhyme scheme and enchanting imagery, it invites us to imagine the joyful sounds of laughter echoing through cobblestone streets as these furry adventurers spread tidings of goodwill. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times filled with wonderment and innocent delight. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern celebrations, there is still magic to be found in embracing traditions from Christmases past. Let this Victorian masterpiece grace your home this holiday season, filling your heart with warmth and reminding you that joy truly knows no bounds – not even for four cats on penny farthing bicycles.
