EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to a Victorian Christmas with this intriguing and whimsical greeting card print. The image captures the essence of the era, showcasing a slate adorned with festive decorations. A pencil is cleverly tied to a string, inviting us to imagine the joyous anticipation of writing heartfelt messages on this unique medium. But what truly catches our attention is the unexpected addition of a pistol resting upon the slate. This curious juxtaposition hints at an unconventional celebration, where tradition meets intrigue. Perhaps it symbolizes protection or adds an element of surprise to the festivities. The vibrant colors brought to life through lithography transport us directly into this enchanting scene from 19th century England. Every detail, meticulously preserved in this private collection photograph by eDavid Pearson, tells its own story – from the intricate design on the blackboard-like surface to the delicate strokes of holiday cheer captured by pencil and chalk. As we admire this Victorian Christmas card print, we are reminded that even during times long past, people found creative ways to express their joy and spread holiday wishes. It serves as a timeless reminder that traditions evolve over time but continue to bring warmth and delight into our lives every Noel season.
