EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the late Victorian era with this enchanting Christmas card image. Dressed in their warmest winter attire, a little girl and boy stand in a snow-covered landscape, their rosy cheeks glowing from the cold weather. In their hands, they hold a large, pristine snowball, ready to launch a playful fight. But the surprise element of this winter scene is the unexpected visitor perched atop the snowball – a bright-eyed robin. The red breasted bird, a symbol of Christmas cheer and good fortune, adds a delightful touch to the winter wonderland. The boy, bundled up in a thick knitted hat and coat, grins mischievously at the girl, who giggles and shields herself from the impending snowball attack. The girl, with her rosy cheeks peeking out from under her hood, wears a matching hat and coat, her hands tucked into the pockets of her skirt. The card's border is adorned with lush holly leaves and berries, adding to the festive atmosphere. The snow is falling softly in the background, creating a serene and peaceful scene. This charming image, captured in the 1890s, transports us back in time to a simpler, more innocent era. The robin, a symbol of the holiday season, adds a touch of warmth and joy to the winter scene, reminding us of the magic and wonder of Christmas. This beautiful card is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of childhood and the joy of the holiday season.
