EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian Christmas card titled "The Young Folks" transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of a joyous holiday season. The artwork, created by an English School artist, is now housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In this delightful scene, a group of children can be seen engrossed in a game of blind man's buff. Their laughter and playful energy fill the air as they navigate through the room adorned with mistletoe and festive decorations. The card beautifully depicts a cherished tradition that brings families together during Christmas festivities. An elderly gentleman stands at the center of attention, blindfolded and eagerly participating in the merriment. His presence adds depth to this nostalgic image, reminding us of intergenerational connections and shared moments of happiness during this special time of year. The intricate details showcased on this Victorian Christmas card reflect both British culture and influences from Germany. The carefully illustrated tree symbolizes botany and natural history while also representing German traditions associated with Christmas celebrations. As we gaze upon this enchanting print captured by Derek Bayes' lens, we are transported to an era filled with warmth, love, and timeless holiday cheer. It serves as a reminder that despite changing times, some traditions remain steadfastly rooted in our hearts throughout generations.
