EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Christmas card captures the joyful spirit of the holiday season with a touch of whimsy. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the early 20th century, this colour photo showcases two girls seated inside a basket, surrounded by snowfall and wearing hooded coats. The image is superimposed with men offering comic jokes, adding an element of surrealism to the scene. The women's smiles are infectious as they collect these funny postcards from their surroundings. Their laughter seems to melt away any winter chill, making this photograph a delightful reminder of the warmth and merriment that accompanies Christmastime. The composition cleverly combines elements of fantasy and reality, creating a captivating visual narrative. The juxtaposition of traditional winter imagery like snowflakes and hoods with unexpected elements such as baskets and superimposed jokes adds an intriguing twist to this festive scene. This vintage postcard not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects the creative imagination behind it. It invites us to embrace our inner childlike wonder during the holiday season while reminding us that laughter is indeed one of life's greatest gifts. Displayed in private collections for decades, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into history through its unique blend of photography, comedy, and surrealism.
